Programming class overview
My tutoring approach centers around developing algorithmic thinking and problem-solving skills along with conceptual strength more than focusing on a particular programming language. I want to focus on you having a complete grasp of concepts and a strong foundation to work with later. The first 2 classes will be self paced, to work on the foundational knowledge. Post that, we will cover the remaining coursework. I am very patient as a tutor and can ELI5 if need be. I want to make sure you have a full understanding of the concepts before moving on the the next topic. I would want you to be comfortable asking even the most basic question no matter what the current coursework being taught is. My methodology strengths lie in fostering a deep understanding of computer science through hands-on practice and real-world applications, equipping students with the skills needed to excel academically and professionally.
Computer Science concept taught by Kshitij
The session involved reviewing Python data types, comparison operators, and variable assignment. The Student worked on a coding exercise using conditional statements and print functions. The session concluded with debugging the Student's existing GitHub code, focusing on API calls and potential overwriting issues, with a homework to revise concepts and use ChatGPT for assistance.
Debugging with Print Statements
Loops
Strings
Conditional Statements (if/else)
Variable Assignment
Comparison Operators
Data Types
The Tutor and Student reviewed Python coding basics, focusing on data types, variables, operators, and debugging techniques in Jupyter Notebook. They addressed the Student's project for automating sports data analysis and explored potential solutions for scheduling code execution and email reporting using Chat GPT and cloud deployment. The next session will cover functions and loops.
