36 points - each exercise is 2 points

Work through Chapter 1 of the Hands-on Python Tutorial. Caution: Do not judge your progress through the chapter just by the number of pages you have read or minutes of video! The exercises and the more difficult parts of the chapter are clustered at the end!

Here is the list of files you need to make sure are included when you turn in your Chapter 1 work. If you saved this work under some other name, please rename as I specify below. The point distribution for the problems is also shown. To receive full credit on a program, it needs to run correctly, as written. Run and check carefully!

For simplicity, please submit into the Ch1Tutorial Sakai assignment just a single archive that includes these files. Remember to include information about help you received and gave in individual files.

I suggest you just keep your specially named exercise files in with all the example files. When it is time to submit exercise files, here is the process. The name of the zip file is not important to me.

In Windows:

1. Open the examples folder (or the folder where you have the files).
2. Look at the list of required files in this homeworkand select them all carefully (likely easiest if you sort by date). On each one Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac).
3. After all the files are simultaneously selected, be careful not to do a plain click. Instead:
   • Windows
     • Right click on one of the selected files.
     • In the popup menu choose Send To --> Compressed (zipped) folder.
     • The name of the resulting zip file is based on the file where you right-clicked.
   • Mac
     • Control-click on one of the selected files, and select Compress _ Items in the popup menu.
     • You create a file Archive.zip.
4. Upload the new zip file into the Sakai assignment.

In addition, every individual should separately submit a personal file log.txt. This should be a plain text file with exactly this name. (You can create it in Idle if you like.) Your homework grade will not be recorded without this file! Include in log.txt:

1. Areas where you received help other than from your partner. Include from whom (me, TA, which tutor), and the extent.
2. Roughly how long you worked for Chapter 1 beyond class time.
3. Briefly, what was the hardest part to get, how did it go for you ...
4. Who your partner was if you had one, or "No partner" If you changed partners, indicate which files were produced with which partner, if possible.
5. If you had a partner, give an indication of how things went with your partner. Was working together a good thing? How did your partner help? How did you help your partner? How did it go?

If you worked with a consistent partner through the whole chapter, only one of you needs to submit the archive, but make sure each partner has their own copy! Each student should separately submit an independently written log file.
