- Sign up for the online zyBook textbook if you haven't already
  done so.  Instructions are:

  1. Sign in or create an account at learn.zybooks.com
  2. Enter zyBook code: RHODESCOMP141KirlinFall2019
  3. Subscribe

  A subscription is $58.

  The normal way to pay for the book is with a credit card through
  the zybooks website.  If you have to buy books through the bookstore
  (because of a scholarship or financial aid), let me know and we
  can figure that out.

- Read zyBook sections 1.1 through 1.4.  Complete all
  participation exercises for these sections, plus the challenge
  exercises in 1.4.  You can read 1.5 and do the exercises there
  for extra practice.

  Note that some of the content from these sections has not been
  not covered in class yet.  This is intentional --- I will
  assign zyBook sections often where you will read the text ahead
  of time to familiarize yourself with content for the next class.
  In these situations you are still expected to complete the
  participation exercises to show you have done the reading.

- Download Python to your own computer.  This will give you
  IDLE, the Python interpreter, and the ability to write and run
  your own Python programs on your computer.

  For Mac:
    https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/python-3.7.4-macosx10.9.pkg

  For Windows:
    https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/python-3.7.4-amd64.exe

  Once you have downloaded and installed Python, try to recreate
  the "print the average of three exam scores" program that we
  constructed in class.  Get it running from a
  separate file (where you run it from the menu bar: Run > Run Module).
  (You do not need to turn this in.)
