Problem Set Instructions
This course will have 10 problem sets all of which will involve
writing programs in Python. Unless specified otherwise, students
are expected to work individually on the problem sets. Students
may discuss generalities related to problem sets with colleagues
but they cannot collaborate.
We will be using
Python
Version 2.7.5. We will not be using Python Version 3!. We
will develop our Python programs using the
Idle programming environment
which is freely available on the web. We will also be using various
sets of libraries of Python code. Installing Python and the required
libraries is part of the first problem set and will be covered in
detail in the first lab meeting.
In order to solve a problem set, create a folder named with your
surname followed by the problem set number. For example, I would
use a folder named Muller1 for problem set 1. All of the
Python source files for your program should be housed in that
folder. When your program is complete and you are ready to submit
it, control-click on the folder and you will see an option
to Compress the folder. This will create a zip file that you
can upload to the appropriate folder on the course
blackboard/vista website.
Unless specified otherwise, problem sets must be submitted for
grading by 12PM on the specified due date. Extensions for problem
set deadlines are granted only for documented medical problems or
other family emergencies. See the
