Below is the course schedule. A Green day indicates that the emphasis will be on a non-graphics python programing topic. A Blue indicates the emphasis will be graphics programming. A Red day indicates an exam. The Topic for each day indicates the topic that the video due that day will be related to. The Prep for each day indicates the work you need to have completed BEFORE watching the video due that day. SOWP stands for “Starting out with Python”.
