Task 1: Fill in the heading.

Open your cornell notes word document, if you would rather fill it in by hand then feel free to print it out. Fill in the video title and the topic at the top of the page. See example below.

Open a Cornell notes sheet by clicking on the image below.

Remember good notes allow students to help each other problem solve

Good notes will help you organise and process data and information

Cornell notes help you retain and recall information by having three different ways/sections where you process the information.

Note taking is a way of helping you to remember things you would otherwise forget. It also stimulates our critical thinking skills.

Remember! whenever you see the notes icon this means the information is important and you should write it down on your notes sheet.

  Debugging
  Complete the challenge below

• Hint - Check the brackets and quotation marks.

  Your code won’t run at all until you’ve fixed all of the errors: You need to fix all the lines of code even before the first line will run.

  Python is case sensitive: be careful with CAPITAL LETTERS and lowercase letters

  Extension Challenge
  Complete one or all of the extension challenges below

Sometimes when your program does not work it is often the case that you have made a syntax error. Syntax errors are typographical mistakes that the programmer has made. When the code get translated for the computer to understand you will get an error message. Sometimes the message is useful, sometimes it is not!

When you are writing programs especially as they get more complex it is very difficult to not to make syntax errors (i do it all the time), so it is good to be able to understand the error messages so you can fix it yourself. As you get more experienced you will learn to interpret the error messages more easily and quickly.

Common Errors

Forgotten bracket: - You get the message “invalid syntax” in a pop up box along with the line after the line with the error being highlighted in red.

Forgotten speech mark: - You get the message “EOL while scanning string literal” in a pop up box along with the line of the error being highlighted in red.

Name Error: - You get the message “Name error” when you mispell a function namelike I have done with print as you can see in the message below.

Copy the code below into a new python file and save it as "debugging"

Try and fix all the errors so that the code works

print("Hello Everyone)
print("This is a poem")

print(Once there was a little boy,)
print(With curly hair and pleasant eye—")
Print("A boy who always told the truth,")
print(And never, never told a lie.")

Print("And when he trotted off to school,")
pint("The children all about would cry,")
PRINT("There goes the curly-headed boy—")
print(The "boy that never tells a lie.")

Add #comments at the end of each line where there is an error, stating what type of error it was.
