Assignment and exercise marking: changing to maximum score policy

Hi all,

We have decided to use the maximum score policy instead of the last score policy for assignments and exercises. This means that we will use the highest score out of all your submissions for each piece of work. This will allow you to continue to explore the homework after you've earned the mark you want without worrying about losing marks by accidentally doing something wrong.

A1 fixes

We have addressed some typos and a couple of errors in the A1 handout. The biggest change is that the type contract for function to_24_hour_clock is now (number) -> number; before it was (int) -> int. We have added an example of what it should do with a float value.

We have also removed the list of countries in time zone UTC+00:00; it had 2 incorrect entries due to us misreading the Wikipedia page. Apologies to those of you from Spain and Denmark for trying to change your time zone!

Keep the feedback coming, this is really useful for making this a quality assignment. Thanks!

Better float comparisons on A1

Because of the rounding problems with floats, it is possible for two different equations that are mathematically equal to be considered different in Python. For example, try these two expressions in the Python shell:
    1.0 / 3.0

    0.1 / 0.3

Because of this and other reasons, we have just added a tolerance on Assignment 1 so that if your answer differs from the expected one by only a little bit (about 7 decimal places), it will now be considered correct. If you have recently received an error on a solution that you are pretty sure is correct, please try submitting again.

Apologies for the frustration!

Audio improved for "Input/Output and str formatting" video

We replaced the audio for this video and we've let the Coursera staff know that it needs to be captioned. In the meantime, we hope that the new audio is helpful.
Sun 30 Sep 2012 5:32:00 PM PDT

Assignment 1 is posted!

Hi all,

We have just posted Assignment 1. As you'll see when you read the handout, you should finish the week 2 lectures and exercise before starting work on this.

Enjoy!

Week 2 lectures and exercise posted, assignment 1 coming in a few hours

Hi all,

We have posted the week 2 lectures and the week 2 exercise. We're finishing up the assignment handout and it should be posted in a few hours.

Enjoy!

-Jen and Paul

P.S. As a reminder, exercise 1 is due in about 11 hours.

New video for assignment statement visualization

There is some confusion about what the assignment statement does. This is to be expected — we see it every year in our intro course here at the UofT. We have released a week 2 video on this early; hopefully it will help clarify the issue.

This uses the Python Visualizer, which you can find by clicking Resources in the navigation bar.

Week 1 progress

Hi everyone,

We hope you're enjoying the course material for Learn to Program: The Fundamentals so far! If you haven't started yet, it's not too late: the first exercise isn't due until the end of the weekend.

Here are some notes that you should read carefully.

  • Assignment 1 will be posted in the next couple of days, and we'll email another announcement when that happens. Assignment 1 will have you make use of all the lecture material in weeks 1 and 2, so when it's posted please don't get scared off!

  • The Resources link in the navigation bar has a link to the Python Visualizer, which we will start to use in week 2. The visualizer shows you a picture of computer memory so you can see how Python manages information in a running program. We will have a couple of videos demonstrating its use.

  • The Course Logistics link in the navigation bar contains a list of the coursework and how much each part is worth.

  • In order to earn a certificate, you need to earn at least 70% on the course material.

  • Exercise 1 can be submitted a lot of times — 100, to be exact. The rest of the exercises will be restricted to 3 attempts only.

  • Each piece of work has a soft deadline and a hard deadline. The soft deadline is the regular due date, and the hard deadline is 1 week later. If you submit a piece of work after the soft deadline, there is a 50% penalty. You can't submit after the hard deadline.
We would like to thank everyone who has given constructive feedback on the discussion forums! We're pretty new to this MOOC stuff, and it's been useful for us to interact with people who have been letting us know what we can improve.

Best,
Jen and Paul

Week 1 Video Volume

We increased the volume on some of our Week 1 lecture videos. We hope this helps!
Tue 25 Sep 2012 12:01:00 PM PDT

Due date for Exercise 1

The due date for Exercise 1 is wonky here:
https://class.coursera.org/programming1-2012-001/quiz/index?quiz_type=homework

It is correct on the Upcoming Homeworks list in the upper right corner of the main page. We have asked Coursera to look into this and fix it.

Edit: they fixed it for us.
Mon 24 Sep 2012 10:08:00 AM PDT

Video length added

We've added the length of each video to its title. Hope this helps!
Mon 24 Sep 2012 4:36:00 AM PDT

Week 1 Quiz, question 10

Question 10 on the week 1 quiz had a bug: a valid variable name was marked as incorrect. This is now fixed and the quiz has been regraded.
Mon 24 Sep 2012 4:33:00 AM PDT

Welcome to LTP

Dear Learn to Program: The Fundamentals participants,

The course website is ready!

The first week's lectures are now available and you can work through them at your own pace. You can watch them whenever you like. Be sure to do the in-lecture quizzes!

The first exercise is also posted, and is due on Monday 1 October at 12:01AM EST. It contains a series of short answer and multiple choice questions that help you get used to programming in Python.

If you have questions, please post to one of the Discussion Forums for the course, available in the navigation bar on the left of your screen. The navigation bar also has links to the syllabus and course logistics, including the marking scheme.

Welcome aboard!
