Lab #5 has been posted, and is due next week. This one is a much more open-ended, analysis-centered, think-deeply-about-data affair than previous labs have been. It’s also much more reminiscent of what “actual” data science will be about! Start here:
https://colab.research.google.com/github/divilian/data101_lab5/blob/main/lab5.ipynb
and be sure to run that first cell with all the ugly code in it. Once that works, read the instructions…and on the last couple of problems, get creative!
Here’s the code for the three problems on quiz #7, for you to play with and peruse. (Ignore the “StringIO” stuff at the top of the last problem; that was just a shortcut way of me creating the s DataFrame.)
Here’s a notebook with the Pokémon code questions (and answers) from quiz 6.
I’ve posted the — fixed! — version of the tricky & counterintuitive if-statement chain for you to inspect. If you replace the “elif” statements with just plain “if” statements, it will be the broken version that had perplexing behavior today.
Thanks to Katie for fixing it in class! 🙂
As promised, here’s a notebook with the “stranger things” problem from the midterm:

The output is: “Boston 2 Mars is 34 Millieun Miles“.
Lab #4 has been posted, and is due next week. I’m experimenting with a different, possibly more convenient, way of disseminating the labs and the data. Click here:
https://colab.research.google.com/github/divilian/data101_lab4/blob/main/lab4.ipynb
and be sure to run that first cell with all the ugly code in it. Assuming that works (no error messages) go to town!
You officially have 3 hours to complete the midterm, in one uninterrupted session. I realized just now that I mistakenly said “2 hours” in the instruction sheet of the exam itself (which you will see when you’re ready to begin and you break the seal). The official answer is 3 hours.
On Tuesday the 7th, my office hours will be 1:30-3:30pm instead of the normal 12-2pm.
As advertised, lab #3 has been posted! Try your hand at these problems and make sure you get a perfect score! I’m wide-open (via email or office hours) for questions as always.
If you’d like a partner but don’t know anyone in the class, you can email me (with subject line “DATA 101 partner request”) and I’ll pair you up with someone!
As promised, here’s a notebook with the quiz 4 problems for you to play with and learn from.
