Revision Notebooks

Topic-specific practice notebooks to help you master key Python concepts. Each notebook focuses on a specific skill with hands-on exercises.

๐Ÿš€ Why Practice Matters

๐Ÿ’ช

Build Muscle Memory

Programming is like learning an instrument - you need to practice regularly to build fluency with Python syntax and patterns.

๐Ÿงช

Experiment Safely

Try new approaches, break things, and learn from mistakes. Practice notebooks are your safe space to explore.

๐ŸŽฏ

Apply Knowledge

Transform lecture concepts into working code. See how Python solves real biological problems.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Build Projects

Start small and build up. Each practice session adds tools to your biological programming toolkit.

๐Ÿ“ How Revision Notebooks Work

1

Topic-Focused

Each notebook targets a specific Python concept or skill. Focus on areas where you need more practice.

2

Self-Paced Learning

Work through exercises at your own speed. Repeat topics as many times as you need to master them.

3

Hands-On Practice

Apply concepts with targeted exercises and biological examples that reinforce key skills.

๐Ÿ’ก Revision Tips

  • โ–ธFocus on weak areas: Identify topics you find challenging
  • โ–ธPractice regularly: Short, frequent sessions work better than cramming
  • โ–ธExperiment freely: Try variations and explore edge cases
  • โ–ธTest your understanding: Can you explain the concept to someone else?
  • โ–ธConnect to lectures: Review related lecture material for context
  • โ–ธAsk for help: Bring questions to lab sessions
