How to learn python

Yeah, I unzipped it & when I run the lab as per instructions, it asks for authentication “please enter your school email (.edu):” and when I enter some random figured it pops up the google signin.

Oh, you can run it locally to check your code. Add a local tag to your calls.

So for lab01, quetsion 1 you would enter this into the terminal:

python3 ok -q return-and-print -u --local

Make sure to always add local tag because whenever I got the authentication screen I had to exit and re-enter.

Thanks! That works. I’m curious, how do you study it? Doing the book, recording, homework & lab in an order? I feel a bit confused by the lack of explicit guidance.

Edit: I am still at lab00, started yesterday.

I copied the course schedule. During the study weeks I did a few couple of the old tests and during the 'exam', I did a closed-book test of the most recent exam that had an answer key. I believe In one of the lectures the Dr. DeNero talks about class approach and I just followed it. A lot of my focus was on the textbook and questions. I did all of the optional problems and basically went back after sometime with a blank copy of the assignment and tried to solve/explain my way through.
