* Winter Break

== Monday - Tuesday (12/22/14 - 12/23/14) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Turn in Dual Enrollment forms and documentation
* Dual Enrollment placement testing
* [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15qiqHJeaICoR_1uhLK5ZPVY4DEjGayKcoEbdYxLtD-M/edit?usp=sharing Personal Finance]

== Friday - Friday (12/12/14 - 12/19/14) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Turn in Dual Enrollment forms and documentation
* Demonstrate your Benford's Law program
* Create a new program that integrates your Benford's Law code, but also using Python Turtle to graphically display a corresponding bar graph

== Monday - Thursday (12/8/14 - 12/11/14) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Benford's Law Assignment
*# Create a text file that contains a list of 1000 numbers from a naturally occurring data set
*#* If you cannot find one, try to getting ideas from:
*#**[http://testingbenfordslaw.com/ Testing Benford's Law]
*#**[http://www.data.gov U.S. Government's Open Data]
*#**[http://www.census.gov/ U.S. Census Bureau]
*# Write a python program that reads the file, extracts the first digit of every number, and determines the frequencies of 0-9
*# Print out the frequencies (percentages) of the numbers 0 through 9
* NVCC Dual Enrollment
*# Complete the [http://apply.vccs.edu/ NVCC admission application] (obtain your NVCC student ID #)
*# Complete the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WrJpl6_PgO8xZ_i0JxjmyuBJUhZGR09QhhdrdRrXYfU/viewform NVCC Student ID# Survey]
*# Write your name and NVCC student ID# on the placement sheet
*# Circle and write your scores that place you out of the COMPASS exam
*# Find and print out the documentation/evidence that shows your score that places you out of the COMPASS exam
*#* Examples: PSAT scores, SAT scores, SOL scores (go to counseling for a print out)

== Wednesday - Thursday (12/3/14 - 12/4/14) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Complete the rest of the File I/O, List & String Practice
*# Assume you have a single string containing the entire U.S. Constitution. Calculate and print out the frequency of the word "the"
*#* Download the following file: [[Media:Constitution.txt]]
*#* Hint: There is a useful string function converts a string to a list of words.
*# Assume you have a single data file with 1000 random numbers from 0 to 100. Print out the frequency of each of the numbers.
*#* Example code to help read in a file:
* Benford's Law
*# Read and watch [http://www.kirix.com/blog/2008/07/22/fun-and-fraud-detection-with-benfords-law/ Benford's Law and Fraud Detection]
*# Further reading [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BenfordsLaw.html Benford's Law]
*# Research and find a set of naturally occurring numbers. Here are some ideas, but you can come up with your own:
*#* [http://www.census.gov/ U.S. Census Bureau]
*#* Heights of mountains
*#* Atomic weights in the periodic table
*#* Baseball statistics
*#* etc.
*# Create a text file that contains a list of your numbers (try to have a list of 1000 numbers if possible)

== Monday - Tuesday (12/1/14 - 12/2/14) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Demo any missing assignments
* File Input/Output (reading/writing)
* List & String Practice
*# Test out the snippet of code below
*# Analyze how it each line works and what each line does
*# Try to complete the following exercises
*# Assume you have a list of strings of peoples' full names in random order. Print out an alphabetized list of only the last names.
*# Assume you have a single string containing the entire U.S. Constitution. Calculate and print out the frequency of the word "the"
*#* Download the following file: [[Media:Constitution.txt]]
*#* Hint: There is a useful string function converts a string to a list of words.
*# Assume you have a single data file with 1000 random numbers from 0 to 100. Print out the frequency of each of the numbers.
*#* Example code to help read in a file:
<syntaxhighlight lang="Python">
# open a text file
file = open("Constitution.txt", "r")

# read all lines in the file and save in the constitution string variable
constitutionStr = file.read()

# close the file
file.close()
