Do this first

• Read the course policy, especially the parts about grading, deadlines, late policy, collaboration, and AI usage.

• Get your computing environment setup for SD212 by following the instructions here.

  If you already have things working from SD211 last semester, there is not much more to do. Look for the part on how to set up your sd212, and then follow the steps to create and install your new sd212 directory

Markdown homeworks

In SD211 you were introduced to markdown as part of learning Jupyter notebooks. Markdown is a simple plain-text formatting language that is used on many websites (including this one!) and we will also use it in this class to submit written homework assignments.

For this homework, your sd212 directory should already contain a folder like hw01 already, with an empty hw01.md markdown file for you to fill in.

So you just open that file in VS code (or any other text editor), fill in the answers, and then submit that file to the submit system.

Note: When editing the file, do not change the lines that start with ## and have something like [Q01]. Those indicate where your answers for each question begin or end. The questions themselves are restated in lines that start with > which will be ignored for grading purposes.

Questions to answer

1. What name do you want to go by in class? (Please spell it out phonetically as well so I can be sure to pronounce it correctly!)

2. In just a few sentences, tell me why you are a data science major.

3. Which aspect of Python programming do you feel most confident about coming in from last semester?

4. What aspect of Python do you feel least confident about and would like to review more?

5. What is something interesting or different you found in the SD212 course policy?

6. After setting up your sd212 folder as instructed above, open an ssh terminal in your new sd212 folder and run the following command:

   pixi info

   This should give you a bunch of information. To check that it worked correctly, paste as an answer to this question what pixi says is the “Prefix location”. (Should start with /home)

Submit command

To submit files for this homework, run one of these commands:

submit -c=sd212 -p=hw01 hw01.md 
club -csd212 -phw01 hw01.md
