Welcome to Advanced Python and AI
Students review and extend core Python skills, including program structure, documentation, formatted output, exception handling, and lambda functions, to prepare for the object-oriented and data-driven work ahead. |
|
Object-Oriented Programming
Students learn to design and implement classes, using constructors, getters and setters, inheritance, polymorphism, and magic methods to model real-world entities in code. |
|
Libraries and Packages
Students learn to use standard and third-party Python libraries to work with web data, perform numerical computing, clean and visualize datasets, and test their own code. |
|
Build Your Own Adventure Game
Students plan and build an original text adventure game across a series of milestones, applying classes, packages, and program design skills from earlier modules to their own story. |
|
Data Structures
Students learn to implement and apply core data structures, including sets, stacks, queues, linked lists, hash tables, trees, heaps, and graphs, to solve realistic problems. |
|
Algorithms
Students analyze algorithm efficiency using Big O notation and implement classic search, sort, and recursive algorithms to understand their tradeoffs. |
|
Build a Music Player
Students design and build a working music player across a series of milestones, applying custom data structures and search and sort algorithms to their own project. |
|
AI Algorithms
Students explore foundational artificial intelligence concepts, including graph search algorithms, heuristic and greedy search, and core machine learning models such as linear regression, k-nearest neighbors, decision trees, neural networks, and clustering. |
|
Build a Classifier
Students design, build, train, and evaluate an original machine learning classifier across a series of milestones, culminating in a documented and presented final project. |
|
Final Exam
Students complete a cumulative, multiple-choice exam that assesses their understanding of concepts from across the entire course, from Python fundamentals through object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, and AI/machine learning. |
