00:10 All right. So I'm going to my screen, you know, so

00:15 you can see a set of PowerPoint and ill thought through them.

00:21 now, just kind off, since will not be able to see too

00:27 different things on my screen, Any that you might have Ah, just

00:34 your hand. There is a sort a razor hand function in Microsoft

00:41 If you do that, typically, know the results in a beat.

00:46 I can I can actually, this the be that we all be able

00:50 go back through a different window and if anyone s questions. And

00:54 you know, I'll be able Teoh you to ask the question. You

01:00 with that? Okay. Very And then in generals, you

01:11 if unless you have a question or , just make sure that you are

01:16 mute so that it doesn't actually, , at any additional, uh,

01:22 you will, you know, noise Weiss's is we're discussing and going over

01:28 few things. All right with let me, uh, share my

01:34 so you can see the screen All right. Can everyone see

01:48 Yes. Yes, I love So a Zay said before today,

01:56 know, I'll sort of go Um, basic introduction about what this

02:00 is about and talked through a little . Of course, The distance that

02:04 not going to necessarily get into any content discussion today. But today I

02:11 like to take the time since you of get everyone familiar with set up

02:15 online mechanism off us interacting since we be in a classroom on and then

02:22 through how tentatively the courses structured on we progress through the course, you

02:28 , we might have to adapt a bit, but at least we can

02:32 about what the plan is for rest the semester. Okay, so person

02:36 . Ah, my name is sure on. Ah, Professor in computer

02:42 on da being Ah, I guess the inner city of Houston, you

02:49 , about 16 years, um, worked family in the area off if

02:55 know, area called computer vision and learning. I do a lot off

03:00 with images and videos and design on algorithms for trying to interpret information that

03:10 you know is available in images and . It's, ah, fairly natural

03:15 for us. Assess people, The the observed things, Um,

03:19 almost a subconscious mechanism. We don't think too much about it. But

03:24 the observer what we see in the , we are able to interpret and

03:30 not only objects that might be present what we observe, but also

03:36 Ah, that might be happening. that's how the interact with real

03:40 right? So computer vision is a where, ah, the attempt is

03:46 try and design algorithms that sort of the human ability to understand and interpret

03:53 we observed. I mean, you , that's my research area, and

03:56 what I work on in the context this class. I think this is

04:03 I believe it's my fourth year heating class. You know, we introduced

04:09 class in the computer science department just four years ago, and I've been

04:15 in teaching this class right from the . Um, besides me, we

04:20 also have ah teaching assistants in the who will be able to help.

04:27 , you know the sort off work all of us in invidious assignments.

04:34 , problems exams with all the different that will be working on on sort

04:40 the available to help you a zit into issues or questions and so on

04:46 . So besides, ah, you , leaving available, we will also

04:52 ah few teaching assistance. I listed off in Gerry Lopez did operate regional

05:01 as well as my your Sharda. one more teaching assistant may be joining

05:07 later this week. And as soon I have that information, I'll share

05:11 little lucky in terms. Of the sources you will be using start

05:20 the the essential tools that are available you through University of Houston system.

05:29 . So typically blackboard is ah is platform where a lot of your course

05:35 is gonna be found. It will using blackboard. You know, if

05:40 been receiving emails from me, I send goes out of announcements. True

05:47 blackboard is where we have our So if you go to blackboard and

05:53 , I think it's home. you should see, uh, syllabus

05:58 the class as well as any course that we might have. So make

06:03 you kind of look through those. will be a schedule posted also on

06:11 . I posed that as a tentative just because, you know, as

06:17 as we work through different topics sometimes know, we made need to kind

06:22 spend a little bit more time based questions you might have or problem to

06:28 my drawn into Ah, and as result, you know, well below

06:32 adapt the schedule a little bit. the tentative plan for now is laid

06:38 in the in the schedule that I have been up babies topics and reading

06:43 and so on. Support. Everything that we will be doing in

06:48 class, you know, I'll be ing links against each of the topics

06:54 the tentative schedule. So, for , you know the meeting link I

07:01 this for today's lecture? You I posted it on the tentative

07:07 Acela's email it out to everyone. reading assignment will become actor, you

07:14 , and I'll tell you where to those things. The slides. You

07:18 , at the end of this I'll actually post ah slides that were

07:22 reviewing right now on the tender, schedule page, the feeling so you

07:27 actually download bad asses. Well, I'll tell you where the recording off

07:33 class civil before. Still. So, um, blackboard is a

07:39 resource. There will also be additional that all post there, you

07:46 your assignments will be posted on Your, um you know, if

07:51 have, uh, problem questions that will also be posted on blackboard

07:57 And, of course, you there are other aspects of blackboard.

08:03 of mission will not necessary use. one thing is your grades will also

08:08 posted on black four a z. to the class. Okay. The

08:12 tool that we will use is, course, Microsoft teens. You

08:16 we'll be using Microsoft teams for all class meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

08:23 , and a same time we'll also Microsoft teams a zey repository where all

08:30 recorded lectures will be caused. Um, all office hours mine as

08:37 as the TA office hours will also held it through channels within Microsoft

08:45 you know? So just like your right now for the class. There

08:51 be a separate, Ah, you , meeting link for office hours on

08:56 . So, as a result, be using teams for all of our

08:59 off live meetings, if you Ah, the other, um,

09:06 , the source that we will have through the classes. Piazza Piazza is

09:12 a discussion board. Some of you have used it in other classes,

09:17 you may not. This may be first time, but it z essentially

09:23 if you will a Q and A . It's a discussion board for every

09:29 will be able to force questions on . Um, and while you know

09:37 idea that everyone in the class can share in those questions and answers,

09:42 it's available to everyone, Um, know, you're welcome to pose questions

09:49 each particular topic and myself, for TS will regularly be checking the discussion

09:56 and answering questions there. But the thing is, you know, all

10:02 peers and all the other students, of class that has access to the

10:06 board, right, so you can it also as a mechanism to communicate

10:12 each other. Obviously, to answer . You know that you may know

10:17 answer to, uh, eso that's available. I mean, I want

10:22 class you to kind of remain interactive engaging in the best way possible.

10:28 can I really be in a Will you be talking in person?

10:34 in Newark certainly used the discussion board za good resource and then a

10:41 So from as we as we have discussion sessions, I'll also be pulling

10:49 from the discussion board. Ah, that, you know, I

10:54 um I can actually the answer take questions and, uh, answer things

11:03 life session that, you know, of you might be having questions

11:07 Okay. All right. Uh, let's see eso. Let's quickly

11:15 This is a is a basic introduction what discourses about right. First and

11:20 , as I said before, class is about learning fundamental concepts and

11:25 that we need in order to solve specifically using computer programs. Right are

11:32 writing computer programs. We'll be using of the programming language there. Other

11:37 languages. Um, there are some of using pipe on ah, one

11:42 them being that, you know will a little bit later. The pipe

11:47 has is a mechanism where it can treated as an interpreted language. And

11:51 that means is that, um, know, you get ah, rapid

11:56 on every statement, every single a program that you're right. You

12:02 the ability to get a rapid understanding what that line off program actually

12:08 So by tone has ability to be more interactive programming language over some of

12:16 other languages. And that's one of reasons why be using. But as

12:21 said before, this is not really be about by phone as a

12:25 Like Okay with that said, if don't mind, I'll play a video

12:31 we can watch for a couple minutes to see as an introduction.

12:39 what this class is about, I can't hear. He adds

13:04 All right. Sorry. Did he it was muted? Yeah, there's

13:10 idea. Okay, give me a . Sorry. All right. I'm

13:53 try it again. Tell me if works. Okay. Wait here.

14:02 think the first program I wrote All . Thank you. I couldn't quite

14:17 as the volume is kind of First time I actually have something to

14:26 Hello World E made a computer do was just astonishing learning for him to

14:32 office, wanting to learn all of science are trying to master this discipline

14:38 anything like that. It just start because I wanted to do this.

14:41 simple thing I want to fix It fun for myself and my sisters,

14:45 I wrote this little program that basically had a little bit, too.

14:49 had wanted to learn something new. looked it up either in poker on

14:52 Internet and a little bit too. is really not unlike kind of playing

14:55 instrument or something are playing. Sport off being very intimidating, kind of

15:03 the hang of it over time coding something that could be learned on,

15:08 I know it can be intimidating. lot of things are intimidating,

15:12 uh, you know, what is ? A lot of the couldn't people

15:15 is actually fairly simple. It's more the process of breaking down problems than

15:22 up with complicated algorithms is people traditionally about it. You don't have to

15:29 a genius to know how to You need to be determined. Additions

15:34 that's about it. Should probably know multiplication tables. You don't have to

15:39 musicals. You have to be a to read, even if you wanna

15:42 a race car driver or play um, or, uh, you

15:47 , build a house. All of things have been turned upside down

15:51 Where, But it is. You , computers are everywhere. You want

15:54 work in agriculture, Do you want work in entertainment? Do you want

15:57 work in? Manufacturing is just all 2013 community bank information, and none

16:23 us know how to really write When I was in school, I

16:30 in school group called the whiskeys, people found out they laughed at me

16:35 you know all these things like I care, I think is cool and

16:39 a lot. And some my friends jobs. Our policy is literally to

16:47 as many talented engineers as we The whole living in the system is

16:52 that There just aren't enough people who trained and have the skills today to

16:57 the very best people we try to The office is awesome as possible.

17:28 laundry sacks Places to play video games scooters There's all these kind of interesting

17:37 around the office places where people play relax. We'll go to think or

17:42 , or be creative, whether you're to make a lot of money or

17:48 you just want to change the Computer. Peroni Incredibly empowering skill to

17:52 Think if someone had told me that is really about humanity, that it's

17:59 about helping people by using computer it would have changed my outlook a

18:05 earlier to be able to actually come , Yeah, and then see it

18:10 your hands and then be able to about having being millions of people.

18:14 I think we're the first generation the that's really ever had that experience.

18:19 think that you can start something in college dorm room and you can have

18:24 set of people who have built a company before together and build something that

18:29 people use in their daily lives. crazy to think about it. It's

18:34 it's humbling and it's amazing. The of tomorrow are the wizards of the

18:38 . You know, you're gonna look you have magic powers compared. Everybody

18:42 think it's the closest thing we Teoh, Superpower. Great coders are

18:51 it. All right, I'm gonna right. So, um, you

19:25 , the core message here is you know, you don't have to

19:31 a computer science graduate or computer science to actually learn what programming is and

19:40 able to leverage it. Tu Interesting problems. So they That's a

19:46 the focus for us here through the , which is independent off what you

19:52 to pursue as your major theme. idea is just to introduce to you

19:57 programming can help you do it. think of it as as a skill

20:01 that you want to gain, Just , you know, we learn how

20:05 use any gadget in the world we today. This is another way that

20:11 can actually create your own little gadgets help you solve whatever problem you need

20:17 . So a sfar asses the book we will be using. It's an

20:22 book. Um, I'll actually switch to the blackboard page in a second

20:28 I can show you where all the is. But the U R L

20:33 the book is available here at www loon stoned Out Academy. And there

20:42 books that are available through this particular . The specific book that we'll be

20:48 is how to think like a computer and interactive edition. Um and so

20:55 your reading assignments, all your programming . Ah ah. And definitely part

21:03 your exams with all the administered through particular online interactive portal. Okay,

21:11 , so is off now. You everybody about installing anything on your

21:17 Everything will be utilized and done through portal through this particular you are.

21:26 , now there is a resource to on your blackboard, Uh, which

21:32 kind of give you basic instructions on to register for an account on their

21:38 specific instructions. Most importantly, it's , it is this particular keyword that

21:48 need to enter when you sign up the court with his USC won 306

21:54 1754175 before is the I think the had called for a section, but

22:01 , I'll shoot you on Black There it is. And how you

22:04 to follow that in order to get account for the online book.

22:09 there are obviously ah, broad idea reference texts. Eso if you have

22:16 books Ah, that you know you to read outside of the online

22:23 Feel free to do that. One I would probably recommend is a book

22:28 Charles Jubak. It's an introduction to science using pipe on a computational problem

22:33 focus. But, you know, are other books. Any introductory book

22:40 problem solving is a good resource. you want to read something outside of

22:43 house, okay, as faras the things that we will talk about in

22:50 class, you know? Well, do. Very, very cursory introduction

22:56 computer organization, right? What is off basic architecture off a computer?

23:03 , and sort of try to put in the context off. How programs

23:09 people right need toe sort of interact the lady hardware off. A computer

23:17 laid out. We'll talk a bit problem solving on and you know what

23:23 it that we need to think about time we want toe take a problem

23:27 given to us and, ah, we want to formulate or think about

23:33 problem so that it becomes easier to a program on how to solve the

23:39 . So that's what we'll talk about then oppose A Z Do that

23:44 you know, simultaneously go through basic . Off by town is a programming

23:51 . Will talk about, you variables assignments in Qatar. How a

23:56 sequence really might execute from one statement the next. Potentially, How do

24:02 do it? Rations eso repeated operations various calculations. We might be needed

24:08 we think about how to solve the . And then we'll talk a little

24:12 about, you know, visible How give you rights functions that we

24:17 views or don't know what again and on. And then we'll also

24:23 later part of the semester talk a bit about some popular algorithms.

24:29 Well as dive into some example, off what kind off your real world

24:37 can be enable based on all the things that we would have learned in

24:42 sauce. All right. Important I guess. Ah, Rating.

24:48 , you know, basically, you be given roughly a weekly reading assignment

24:56 an exercise which will be essentially, know, on our general, I'll

25:02 it to you where that will show in your own line book. But

25:05 will be in your own line It's basically like reading a topic that

25:10 will discuss. Ah, but at same time, the leading is a

25:16 to what we discussed. It gives an opportunity to, um, get

25:21 different perspective. Maybe from the perspective the author of the book.

25:26 And at the same time, there be sort of online exercises for you

25:32 kind of practice what you have understood reading the online book. So all

25:38 that will constitute about 5% off your through the class. Ah, and

25:45 know, 5% of that is not , significant person date of the

25:50 But, you know, the idea for you to keep up with the

25:53 because the reading will keep you refreshed terms of the concepts were discussing and

25:58 you was importantly, an opportunity to the concept in small units, so

26:06 important. The other part of this be your in class and homework

26:11 OK, so what will happen is is recovered. Each topic, you

26:18 have a set off problems that we to solve so that we can not

26:26 look at different kind of problems but the same time practice the concept that

26:31 would have learned on do some hands programs. So in doing so every

26:36 after we cover the topic will be assignment on that topic. We were

26:41 start that assignment off in class. , so generally, first days is

26:46 we will be doing that. So at the start of a Thursday

26:51 You will actually get to see what problems are. We will start solving

26:55 problems in class and at the same discussed them a little bit. Eso

27:00 any immediate questions can be answered Ah, the attempt will be to

27:05 to solve at least a couple problems class and then the rest off.

27:09 problems in that exercise set will become homework assignment, and people will will

27:17 to have about pain of these through semester, okay? And that will

27:21 45% of the great. There are big firm exams for the clothes as

27:27 as a final exam. Your midterm . You know, the dates are

27:33 posted on your tentative schedule, and get to the dates and here in

27:36 second as well. But each one them will be 15% of your

27:40 And that, of course, the exam is already also scared. Field

27:45 . That will be 50% of your . Your great, um, and

27:50 these all your assignments with theirs and are all going to be sort of

27:58 , right? They're gonna be complete , which means that each one of

28:02 will cover everything that has been covered to that particular assignment or exam from

28:10 side of the semester. Okay, having said that, the focus off

28:16 off them really more on the new that you would have learned since your

28:23 assignment or exam. Now, another . Very important. Remember, the

28:29 grade that you will get in this basically will not be any more than

28:36 full grade higher than your exam, . Okay. Uh, so you

28:42 Hey, I want to be The fact that your exams, um

28:47 know, they are going to be similar to your programming assignments are in

28:52 assignments, homework assignments. OK, the exams is where you know you

28:59 bringing everything that you learn and practice on. As a result, the

29:05 and exams will be heavily looked at terms off your final grade.

29:13 and of course, you know, , Bill, address questions will do

29:19 before exams and so on. Support . We'll talk more about it as

29:24 get closer to any one of these dates. So here we go.

29:29 your exam dates. Your midterm is for the first of October. The

29:34 one, your second term for the off November. And, of

29:38 your final exam is on the eighth , December on and you know it's

29:45 between 25 p. M. Now, I don't expect our exams

29:52 actually, you know, final example three hours long, but that's the

29:57 slot that university has scheduled for So that's that's our times and we'll

30:04 into the details off the exam. know how you will do it,

30:09 you will find the problem sets and well, do it online. A

30:12 get closer toe. All right. you talk a little bit about the

30:18 structure? So, as you this is a synchronous online course,

30:23 ? But at the same time, said that, we will actually be

30:27 a combination of recorded lectures and life . Okay, so I all our

30:35 sessions do you stays in Thursday's. would prefer that we use them.

30:41 engage in discussions as well as do exercise. Striker, you're you're working

30:47 solving a problem. You're working on programs and we can have a discussion

30:52 , You know, what are our ? You're running up. What concepts

30:56 not here. And that's what I . Okay, So with that in

31:02 , all the actual content of this will be delivered the recorded lectures that

31:07 will have access to on Microsoft And as I said, I'll post

31:13 on blackboard as well. And Tuesdays Thursdays Do you say specifically I will

31:22 more on having a discussion around a lecture and reading assignment that you would

31:29 done prior to coming to the Tuesday . So that's the intent off our

31:36 meetings. And then, of Ah, on Thursday he will actually

31:41 working on the problems that related to particular topic that would have Bean released

31:48 week before. So that's how the will be. Structure Onda outside off

31:55 meeting times Tuesday Thursday, 10 to . 30 Um, you know,

31:59 have, ah, office hours myself well as the tears of the class

32:06 that you know you can access us those office hours. And like I

32:13 , uh, if for whatever reason know you run into questions problems on

32:19 somehow someone is not available, that in a short term from from

32:26 you run into a question, the board, it's something that you can

32:31 questions on and we'll someone will get those pressures as quickly as possible.

32:40 right, so quick, Uh, know, some tips to succeed in

32:44 course. Okay, this course in , the content that we will cover

32:49 talk about will, will you'll have of opportunity to ask questions as well

32:54 practice those content concepts. Um, in order to get there,

33:01 you heard in the video, Programming is not tough. It's about

33:05 off, uh, going off of and practicing it for in order

33:10 Okay, to get to that, your reading assignments. Keep up with

33:15 reading assignments, asked precious anything that's . Ask questions. Us early.

33:22 , on your programming assignments. When you start out writing programming assignments

33:31 , it's ah, it may feel bit more confusing. It may feel

33:37 bit more challenging because there are two that you're trying to manage. You

33:42 , one programming languages are very which means that you know the

33:49 the way you composed statements in a . Ah, very, very

33:55 Any mistaken that and the program doesn't . OK, so as a

34:00 when you started off programming, you what he about being accurate in your

34:07 picks. And at the same you are trying to figure out exactly

34:12 to solve the problem. So there two things that you're working on simultaneously

34:16 that can get a bit confusing and development. Okay, but that's not

34:22 . So, you know, don't about that. That's a very natural

34:26 . Because you're learning who you Here you're learning. Ah, you

34:32 , be a new language. Right . At the same time, you're

34:36 some concepts that we're talking about in and office. All problems. So

34:40 get to start about it. Don't about it. Ask questions will be

34:44 to help you working through that. you'll realize that if you practice

34:49 you know, it's it's like trying sing in language. You'll get very

34:52 with syntax, and you're not worry it anymore. You love distressed

34:57 So keep practicing all these strider writing of scratch. You know any any

35:04 problems, start fresh, start with first statement and work your way.

35:10 . Solve the problem. Um, are certain expectations, right? You

35:16 expect from me and that he which is to make sure that you

35:22 I do the best I can in to deliver the curriculum off this course

35:28 you. Give you plenty of opportunity ask questions and practice what we learn

35:35 class to make sure that I give exercises and assignments, which will build

35:42 the concepts that we learned in class . And hopefully they're interesting and

35:48 right? So they are there problems all of us can relate with,

35:52 necessarily major problems with a relatable to world problems. And at the same

35:59 as I said, try to, , work one on one as much

36:04 possible through discussion boards and, you , office hours. Um, I

36:10 have certain expectations up. All of in class, right? I want

36:14 do to be ready to engage with material that we covered in class,

36:19 to kind of work hard. You , if you will get your hands

36:23 program as much as possible. certainly, you know, come to

36:29 in class meetings that uses and Thursday's questions and engage with your colleagues in

36:38 class, right? I mean, , you know, a, uh

36:44 know, a lot of homes we when we are also, you

36:50 we understand a concept, and we to explain that concept to someone

36:55 It's a wonderful way to learn for and improve our own understanding. So

37:00 constructive in your comments. So if if you're in within a discussion board

37:04 have a discussion with other students in , you know, help them when

37:10 say help them, you know, understand concepts, right? I

37:14 please make a note. You the discussion board is not too to

37:19 of, you know, take the and homework assignment than solutions for

37:23 That's not the intent. I wanted engage in discussion around concepts.

37:29 but, you know, make sure doing your own assignments and work,

37:33 that's how you will practice something being up. All of those are to

37:37 you to practice and do your own other problems. Try to meet

37:42 Deadlines are important. You will have of time for anything that I'm giving

37:48 . Write all your assignments. You have, you know, a few

37:52 to solve them. But at the time, don't wait till the last

37:57 to get started on something. Start and tried to make sure that you

38:01 complete your assignment earlier than the deadlines are given shoes. So let's talk

51:07 click on a particle, a You could give you a description of

51:11 problem. Along with the description. will give you a a window,

51:18 programming window, which is gonna look this. Ok, uh, so

51:34 It'll say something like active corn. , Now, this is a built

51:39 , uh, you know, if will a in warm in the development

51:44 . The programming environment that's available to in the book itself so I can

51:49 write programs directly in here. This where you will be sorry. And

51:55 you you know, for example uh don't know. Let's just say you

52:02 X equals 10 right on. Why X multiplied by two? And I

52:10 print Why? OK, now I write these statements and I can say

59:21 how to access their I made the to my regular Gmail. But isn't

59:26 coast coming through? Okay, eso see. Normally, when you enter

59:59 it out. How? Toe All right. When I was signing

60:04 for it, I had the same also with getting the email back.

60:09 think they have, like, an links. Like, if you're having

60:12 with the verification, if you just them with the problem, they'll send

60:16 verifications here. It will be Ah ! Uh, Let's see.

60:47 hand was still high. Sorry. a descending on. Everybody resume whole

60:58 . All right, eso Let's we have Ah, nan Ma

61:04 So you know the lectures that you talking about that we have Teoh watch

61:08 coming in to class on Tuesday. can we find those lectures? So

61:17 you know, they will show up the lecture videos under M esteems right

61:25 . Right now, we don't have , but, you know, then

61:28 believe, but I released the first . It will show up over here

61:31 also a meaning general. Right. build, uh, try my best

61:38 make sure that every time something is , I will send in announcement through

61:45 . So you know a zoo long you have been receiving my emails.

61:50 you will also get an email saying has been released. And but

61:55 you know, ideally, I mean general, right there, any time

62:00 is released will show up under lecture . As far as it's a recorded

62:05 . That's where you should go to for it. Okay. Thank

62:13 All right, Ben. Eso Well, how would it midterm exams

62:22 like? Like you haven't to solve specific problem in a set up.

62:27 mean, in a certain amount time you will review. Like, are

62:32 just, like, memorized organ And since act and we just write

62:36 answers in the midterm exams. Very . No good question. So I

62:42 want to do memorize stuff. so let's look at it Unfeasible.

62:50 ? Blackwood. Collaborate, then? Blackboard Collaborated? Uh, no longer

62:56 . No, You said the lock broke the lock down browser.

63:01 Thank you. Know I I'm not . Quite decided if that's what we're

63:08 do. Ah, not 100% convinced we necessarily need to do that.

63:15 how about this? Give me. me a little time on a

63:19 Get closer to it because we can about it. OK, but in

63:23 , your midterm or any example that have a couple things for us on

63:28 blackboard under resource is okay under these at the bottom as you scroll

63:41 Ah, there is essentially a fight teaching. Okay, but I'm going

63:47 switch this Teoh different view. Under resource is at the bottom.

63:54 is a fight on teaching. this is a cheat sheet you can

64:02 with you in your example. this Tichy basically has, you

64:09 all the common Syntex and ah, description off. You know, the

64:17 that we will be covering in this . Okay, so you don't need

64:22 remember the exact syntax. But if know what concepts need to be leveraged

64:30 solve the problem, you can look the example Syntex and use it in

64:35 solution. OK, so, I don't worry about sort of memorizing

64:43 now, in terms off your what do your exam? Generally,

64:48 will always be made up off to . Okay, One will be sort

64:53 thing custom as short answers or true false type of questions, which is

65:01 , you know, testing very quick of basic, uh, concepts,

65:10 know, on we'll get to this , like, you know, if

65:13 divide an integer with another indigent going . I'm sorry. According as languages

65:26 potentially. Yes, yes, 40 languages. Absolutely. No.

65:35 we will have things for patients. then, of course, we will

65:40 have ah, few where you know be also to actually arrive a small

65:47 of cord, uh, 40 given description. Generally riding that solution,

65:59 sort off practise a particular sub topic he might have discussed in the

66:06 All right, I got it. most of your true false type of

66:14 , you know, might also be the online book as well as your

66:21 . Now, if if we use different mechanism, you know, let

66:27 know their head of fine so that air ample opportunity to practice what we'll

66:33 doing for any of these exams. also release practice exams before we get

66:38 any of those. Alright, how other questions? Uh, just I

67:08 wanted to know Is the exam going be administered through the online textbook.

67:15 , and he's a part off. will be, you hear?

67:26 So I know you said that we need to download Python or any other

67:31 . Everything's gonna be done and, know, on online textbook and they'll

67:35 a window where we can code. if we need, like, additional

67:39 outside, like the traditional classroom or you get posts like exam reviews or

67:44 know any other additional questions would we the program then or would we still

67:49 able to do it? Infects? , So the text book, you

67:55 , you can actually practice pretty much problem, you warned, even if

68:00 not part of the assignment. I you, ah, toe on the

68:04 book. But at the same if you do want toe, have

68:09 £5 running locally on your machine, will be happy to help you set

68:14 up as well. So, if you if you just ah,

68:23 you some guidance on what to set and how the second got it thank

68:29 to tree part. Anyone else at moment. All right, well,

68:50 there are no other questions. you can stop for today. You

68:59 , Like I said before, you , I have all I'll be online

69:03 the office office channel in about 15 . So the green mountain in the

69:09 15 minutes, if you think of things Oh, are you want to

69:12 visit me the office hours? You're to do so on, uh,

69:16 know, asking questions then as But other that, You know,

69:23 , the according from today and the , I'll post them only the next

69:28 or so on and then we'll see . Actually, you see.

69:35 so this Thursday Sorry. Let me . Toe blackboard. Where's our

69:59 lecture that will be released that he see posted on Microsoft teams as well

70:06 your first reading assignment will show up your assignments. I've in the online
