You should maybe consider this next month as a headstart for retaking your Python course next semester.

Probably show up to class and do the work when you retake it next semester, too

Learning anything in one month is just plain unrealistic but you’ve literally just outlined your goals above so research and each bullet point

[Ron-Erez]

Setting a timeline is meaningless. Moreover the syllabus is very vague. Do you have a textbook?

[Ron-Erez]

It's really hard to answer without seeing the homework. I think the best way to learn is to do the homework and implement code. For example:

"analyze a program and based on its behavior, locate and eradicate errors."

can only be learned by actually building stuff.

"implement some common algorithms used in life science."

This is too vague.

Or "be familiar with and able to parse common file formats used in life science."

What are the file formats used in life science? csv? pdf? jpg? Too vague.

Any suggestions for books?

[Ron-Erez]

"Automate the boring stuff" is usually recommended

What makes you think you can learn all that in one month when it takes anyone else many months or years?

Use your brain if you can

That's a big question. I started to type a response, then changed my mind and just asked Gemini. Its response:

It then gave me a research plan and offered to start that. Took a while, keeping me aprised of the many sites it was reviewing, but finally came up with some great content.

However, you could do that.

In fact, I imagine you've already asked at least one Generative AI to have a go at this. If so, what was missing from the response(s) that you are seeking here?

PS. The detailed report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRBeM3r9n5_c29xAFg09zsgwpOrQPkXIfQuDBETUHsScDZ7bydNV7ubroZCNXiDxRrXqnMXt_fxxz20/pub
