    Tutorials

    It is not strictly necessary to answer non-code questions in the notebook itself, although we strongly encourage it. This will help you if you ever need to refer back to it, and will help us help you if you run into any problems.

    Tutorial notebooks will be turned in on Canvas. We encourage you to leave the outputs from a top-to-bottom run in the notebook file you submit. This is again not strictly required, but will help to identify any issues if something is incorrect.

    Like quizzes, tutorials are graded on a complete/not complete basis. The final due date for all tutorials is the last day of classes for the quarter (except for projects, which can be turned in during the exam period); until then they can be revised and resubmitted without penalty. We might send a submitted notebook back with a requested revision or fix required for it to be deemed complete (usually with some advice about how to proceed). However, please do not turn in notebooks that you know are not complete in order to get feedback from us. Reaching out on Slack or in class is much more efficient for all of us.

    Like quizzes, tutorials are graded on a complete/not complete basis. The final due date for all tutorials, including the project, is at the end of the quarter; until then they can be revised and resubmitted without penalty. We might send a submitted notebook back with a requested revision or fix required for it to be deemed complete (usually with some advice about how to proceed). However, please do not turn in notebooks that you know are not complete in order to get feedback from us. Reaching out on Slack or in class is much more efficient for all of us.

    While the final due date for completed tutorials is late, we do have a schedule of when we will collectively begin and review each tutorial (usually a week apart), and we require evidence of bona fide effort put in before the review date. The admittedly fuzzy term "bona fide effort" should be taken to mean substantial progress towards a complete notebook and/or attempts to get help with sticking points before the last minute. Very simply, you will not be able to participate effectively in the review if you are seeing the tutorial for the first time at that point.

    This might all sound intimidating, but our aim with these notebooks is to make them illuminating rather than onerous. We want you to get your hands dirty analyzing data, and as long as that happens we'll be happy. Given all this flexibility, and since everyone should have working and complete notebooks by the time we're done, we are not planning on providing "solutions". You can, however, find html pages showing the outputs of solved tutorials linked from the main github.io page, to compare your work to.
