Prerequisite
We expect participants to have prior programming knowledge, specifically in Python. If you lack
this background, please learn the basics of Python before starting this course. This course does
not cover Python fundamentals, and enrolling without adequate Python knowledge may
lead to significant difficulties in understanding the content, resulting in a poor learning
experience. This responsibility lies solely with the participant. We have also offered an
"Introduction to Python" course, which you can complete prior to enrolling in this course.
Tentative Class Schedule
The course length will be 8 weeks with two classes in each week and 3 hours in each class. The
