Mechanical MOOCers,
Welcome to week 3. Your mission this week is as follows:
Materials:
- Text: Chapter 3, appendix A, and sections 6.5-6.9 from How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.
- Video : Lecture 4 and Recitation 2 from 6.00SC Introduction to Computer Science
- Codecademy: Unit 4 Functions
Tasks:
- Complete sections 2.0-2.6 from Handout 2 of 6.189 A Gentle Introduction to Computer Science
As always, ask for help for help on OpenStudy or from your small group peers. And remember to hand out medals on OpenStudy to anyone who helps you out.
Once again, the Mechanical MOOC reminds you not to panic if you are struggling to keep up. After all, we’re not keeping score here, we’re helping you to learn Python. Just keep trying.
Much happy MOOCing.
–The Mechanical MOOC
