  • Introduce Yourself
    An important activity during this first class will be introducing ourselves. I plan to go through the class in the order that students appear in the Zoom list of attendees. I will ask each of you to speak in turn. I am expecting each of you to speak for 1 - 2 minutes. Here are the things that I 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. I look forward to meeting each of you during your introductions.
