(Darth Vader, when commenting on the upcoming visit of the emperor to the construction site of the death star: "The emperor is not as forgiving as I am.")

  • Comments are helpful and important, both for me and for them in the future.

  • Giving sensible names to the variables is incredibly useful to understand a code.

  • Remind the data directory structure. Maybe put it in the web as well for those students who are not coming?

  • Some of them left empty the last part. Is it because it is too difficult or because they had no time left? I have accepted notebooks until midnight (one student sent it at 23:57), so it shouldn’t be because of the time.

  • Sometimes they are asked to create functions with a certain name. That is to keep all codes more or less standarized so they are more easily understood later. They can create new functions, but keeping the name of the ones they are asked to do.

  • Use of internet and stackoverflow: it is ok to look for documentation and how functions works, but not to copy snippets of code.
