Worksheets

Options for working on these worksheets:

• Edit them with instances of jupyterlab or jupyter notebook that are installed on your own computer. (BEST)
• Edit them with UBC Syzygy (pronounced sizz-ij-ee): https://ubc.syzygy.ca/
• Edit them with Google Colab: https://research.google.com/colaboratory/ (LEAST PREFERABLE)

Submit the worksheets by uploading your .ipynb file to the corresponding canvas assignment slot.

Projects

You will be working on various projects on GitHub repositories within a GitHub Organization setup for this course. Some general things you should know:

How to followup with a project submission

You’ll be given feedback as an Issue in your project repository, sometimes before your grade is posted.

• Make sure you’re Watching your repository, so that you will be notified by email whenever a new Issue or comment is posted – you can find this option in the upper-rigth hand corner of your repository page.
• You can use the Issue thread to have a conversation about your assignment results.
• If you would like to dispute your grade, this Issue thread is the place to do it, but please do so only within 1 week after the grade has been posted.
