The purpose of this evaluation is for me to get some feedback on the course while it's still fresh in your mind.

This survey is completely anonymous. Your answers won't be tied back to you in any way, and they won't affect your grade.

Please check which one of these best describes your future plans with Python, beyond Lawrence. If you're not sure, check all that sound possible for you.

I probably won't use Python after this course

I probably will use Python for personal projects or sporadically, but not as a major part of my career

I plan to go to a grad degree/industry in computer science and will do a lot of programming, but not with Python specifically

I plan to go to a grad degree/industry IN computer science where I'll have to make heavy use of Python (e.g. software development, security, systems)

I plan to go to a grad degree/industry OUTSIDE computer science where I'll have to make heavy use of Python (e.g. bioinformatics, statistics, other data science fields)

Imagine someone asks you, "What did you learn in that Intro Python class you took?" How would you respond in 1-2 sentences?

Imagine someone asks you, "What did you do in that Intro Python class you took?" How would you respond in 1-2 sentences?

What would you say was your level of basic programming experience in any language prior to taking this course?

Complete novice; no experience programming

Proficient; some experience programming at the introductory level (e.g. what this class will get you to)

Mastery; strong expereince programming (e.g. upper-divison classes like data structures or algorithms)

Clear selection

Which of these bests matches your personal experience with the pace of the course?

Way too fast; I constantly felt like I was behind

A little fast; I had to work pretty hard to keep up

Just about right

A little slow; I could've handled a bit more

Way too slow; I could have done a lot more work

Clear selection

Which of these best matches your personal experience with the difficulty of homework and labs for the course?

Way too hard; I felt completely unprepared by what we do in class

A little challenging, but I struggled through it

Just about right

A little easy, but had a couple of harder ideas

Way too easy; I didn't feeling like I was reinforcing anything from class

Clear selection

About how much time were you spending on each homework assignment, including: thinking about the problems, working with friends, working with tutors, coming to office hours, writing code, testing code, and writing responses to questions?

Much less than 1 hour

1 - 2 hours

2 - 4 hours

4+ hours

Clear selection

Rate where you feel you're currently at in each of the topics we covered on our mastery scale.

Novice = I really struggle to implement this concept still, I really don't know how to use it

Proficient = I'm starting to get it and I can do it most of the time, but sometimes I can't get there on my own

Master = This makes sense to me, I'm confident I know when to use this concept after thinking on it

Novice

Proficient

Master

Variables, Numbers, Types

If/Else/Elif

while Loops

for Loops

Functions

String operations

File handling

User input handling

Debugging

Clear selection

Please check which one of these most closely aligns with your thoughts on our mastery-based grading scheme, including the revision policy.

I hate it; I wish we were using traditional points-based grading

I prefer traditional grading, but I'm dealing with the mastery-based grading for now

I'm indifferent

I prefer this style of grading, but it's not a very strong preference; I wouldn't mind if it were traditional

I love it; I wish more classes used this style of grading

Clear selection

Finally, would you be interested in taking a future Lawrence course which builds off CMSC 140 (e.g. an advanced Python course or an intermediate programming course in a Python-like language)?

Yes
