Joining late

Wait list

There is often a wait list for this course.

• There’s a lot of churn in enrollment, so be patient.

• To be fair to everyone, it’s first come first served.

• How the wait list works

• Worst case, if you don’t get in:

  • This class is offered every Fall and Spring

  • There are a lot of other ways to learn Python

While you’re waiting

• Attend class.

• Look through the important links, including past lectures.

  • You won’t be able to access Brightspace or the Discussions.

• Complete the Assignment(s) in JupyterHub as normal, waiting until you are registered to submit them.

Once you join

If you’re coming off the wait list or registering for the course after the first lecture:

• Watch the recording(s) of past lectures if you weren’t present for them.

• Make sure to read through the pinned threads that appear at the top of the list of Discussions, in case there’s anything you missed.

• Submit all past assignments.

• We will mark Participation for weeks prior to when a student is registered as Excused.

  • Email the grader if there’s a mistake.

Extensions

• We will grant extensions up to the following, whichever comes first:

  • Nine days after the original due date

  • One week after you were enrolled in the course

• If we accidentally mark you as late, let the grader know and we’ll get it corrected.

• The late submission deadline will not be extended.

  • In other words: If you joined the class more than a week after the class starts, you can’t turn in Homework 0 late.

This is a short class, and these rules are in place to:

• Ensure late-joiners get caught up quickly

• Allow solutions for homeworks to be shared sooner than later (so that students can learn from them)
