Here are suggestions for programming exercises some of you with free time during the break may want to do. There is nothing to submit, no grades to be had. Just some direction for programming in Python.
Some Old Labs and Homework Assignments
Below are some old labs and assignments, with some solutions. Just go through them, solving one problem at a time, without looking at the solution. When you get stuck, force yourself to find ways to fix the problem and give you 10 minutes to do so. Remember, it's ok to get frustrated not finding the solution right away. Then, after 10 minutes or so, and only then, take a look at the solution, go back to Idle and try to fix the problem from the memory you have of the solution. Do not copy paste. Just type the code as you remember seeing it. Keep on repeating these steps until you get something that runs without errors.
