CIS 2020

Overview

What's on this page

This page collects everything specific to my CIS 2020 sections, starting with a set of chapter reviews written from Python for Everyone (3rd ed.) by Cay Horstmann and Rance Necaise. Each review lines up with a chapter quiz and is meant as a last pass before you take it, not a replacement for the book.

More material for the course will land here over time. For general Python content that isn't specific to this class, see the main Python page.
