This post outlines the Practicum 2 Update part of Exam 2. See the Practicum 2 or in-person Exam 2 posts for details on the other parts. Study exams are in the practice_exams Box folder.

  • When: Thursday 4/18 – Saturday 4/20
  • If you choose to submit to the Practicum Update, the weighting is the same as Practicum 1. It will be applied regardless of whether it will help or harm your grade:
    • Practicum (original): 15%
    • Practicum Update: 85%
  • It is your responsibility to work with your group to do the update.
  • For the update, you will do the following:
    • Update your original notebook as needed.
    • Add a “Practicum Update Diff” cell at the bottom worth 0.5 points per question. See details below.
    • We may grade outside of your changes.

Practicum Update Diff Cell

Do the following to create your diff cell and explain what you changed.

  1. Go to the bottom and add a new cell.
  2. Update the cell’s type to MarkDown.
  3. Fill in the following template:
# Practicum Update Diff Cell
1. <1-2 sentences of how you changed question 1, or "No Changes">
2. <1-2 sentences of how you changed question 2, or "No Changes">
etc.

There is no need to provide a detailed report of what you changed. You must provide a bullet per question regardless of if you changed it (or you will not earn the 0.5 points for it). Here is an example of a diff cell that could have been provided for Practicum 1:

# Practicum Update Diff Cell
1. We did not change the code and only changed the writeup to better answer questions 2 and 3.
2. No changes
3. We cleaned up the code by removing the ==True and did not change the writeup.
4. We overhauled everything, code and writeup.
