Mechanical MOOCers,
Hope everyone had a good break, however you spent it. On to week 6. Here we begin a shift in the course materials from a focus on reading and exercises to project work. Now we’re gettin’ (more) real.
Here are your materials and tasks:
Materials:
- Text: Chapter 12-14 from How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.
- Video : Lecture 7 and Recitation 4 from 6.00SC Introduction to Computer Science
- Codecademy: Units 14, 15 and 16 – Loops and Exam Statistics
Tasks:
- First: Complete sections 3.10 and 3.11 from Written Exercises 3
- Second: Complete sections 3.6 and Optionals Exercises 1 & 2 from Handout 3 of 6.189 A Gentle Introduction to Computer Science
- Complete Project 1
As always, ask for help for help on OpenStudy or from your cluster peers. And remember to hand out medals on OpenStudy to anyone who helps you out!
Show off them mad skills!
