CSC 221 Weekly Assignments: Week 6

CSC 221


Overview

This week will study Chapter 6: Dictionaries, sets, files and modules, our last chapter before we focus on planning for the PCEP certification.

Wednesday, October 1st

Classwork

During the first half of class today we will have a 30 question PCEP practice test.

Thanks to Chris's scantron tech, we'll be able to grade your test on the spot, so we can spend the second half of class going over the results and looking at particular problems that are proving to be the most challenging.

Homework

If you haven't already done so, enroll in Python Essentials 1 and work your way through as much of the course as your study time permits.

Now that you've all finished, here is the answer key for the exam:

1:b,c 2:b 3:c,d 4:a 5:a,b,e 6:a 7:d 8:d 9:d 10:a,c 11:d, 12:b 13:d 
14:'acc rocks!' 15:b 16:a 17:a,b,c 18:a,c 19:a,b,c 20:d 21:b,d 22:b 23:c 24:c
25:b 26:c 27:b,e 28:d 29:b,c 30:e

Come to class next Monday prepared with questions. You need to take ownership of your learning process now if you want to be ready for the PCEP. Jeff and Chris work for you, but you need to lead the process!
