The final grade in the course will be determined by your best 2 scores (on a scale of 0 through 100) out of 3 assignments weighted equally.
Thanks to a pointer from Prof. Kerby Shedden, I will be using Python notebooks instead of using slides (credit to him if it works, blame on me if it doesn’t!). Notebooks allow me to mix text and code to illustrate various programming tools and techniques. The notebooks are in a github repository:

The notebooks themselves are just static documents (in JSON format) but clicking on the links will show you properly rendered notebooks thanks to the awesome rendering service at http://nbviewer.ipython.org/.
