From the Instructor

Happy Valentine’s day everyone,

In class today I will revisit one or two slides from Monday…

Then we will look at a roadmap activity together.

Hey everybody,

Welcome to week 5!  Today’s class has three basic elements:

1. A quick review of our Roadmap diagram as it exists now
2. A brief discussion of the “long reads” assignment.
3. My introduction of something called Naive Bayes Classification

It’ll be fun …

Hi everyone,

Our agenda today is simple!  Talk about Recommender Systems, and take a quiz.  See you soon.

Hey everyone,

Today we have a lecture and related discussion.  The topic is “Managing Bias” and the slide deck is on the class schedule as always.

-Shafer

Hey everybody,

My sole ambition for class today is to finish up the activity we started on Wednesday. Class will conclude with quiz number two.

I will also advise you regarding an extra credit opportunity.

Because road map activity 1 took a little bit longer than I thought it would, I will need to adjust the class schedule.

You can expect to see some changes there Monday morning at the latest.

Hello all,

Lots to do, lots to do…

For class today I have prepared 2 discussion questions.

I also want to:

• Talk about what to expect in the next couple of classes
• Briefly review the last quiz
• Test out Anaconda if time permits

-Shafer

 

Install the Anaconda / Python software.  See these instructions

Determine where on your own computer you will keep your class work

In class today we will very briefly/quickly wrap up last lecture.  (Note that I am choosing to skip a bit here and there… will explain in class!)

Then I will introduce some new topics (see today’s slide deck)

Class will end with our first quiz (taken on Canvas)

Here’s the plan …

• Super fast recap of our last class
• Digest from last discussion question
• Lecture
