  • Introduce Yourself
    An important activity during this first class will be introducing ourselves. We plan to go through the class in the order that students appear in the Zoom list of attendees. We will ask each of you to speak in turn. We are expecting each of you to speak for 1 - 2 minutes. Here are the things that we would like you to share with us: Your name; The iSchool program in which you are enrolled; Your employment (this includes, full-time, part-time, university, and home care activities); Your previous experience with tools used in this course (Python, Anaconda); Most Important: What you would like to get out of this course. We look forward to meeting each of you during your introductions.
