Background

Prior programming experience: Some (self-taught Python basics, completed a few online tutorials)
Major/field: Computer Science
Year: Freshman
Why taking this course: Required intro course; already knows basics but wants formal foundation

Information collected during class activities and interactions.

Strengths:
- Quick to grasp new concepts
- Comfortable experimenting and breaking things
- Good debugging instincts
- Helps classmates without giving away answers
Growth areas:
- Sometimes rushes and misses edge cases
- Code comments and documentation are sparse
- Can get bored with basics—needs challenges
Preferred learning style: Hands-on experimentation; prefers to try things and see what breaks
Goals for this course: Solid A; build foundation for more advanced courses; maybe create something cool

Already had Python installed. Finished Lab 1 in 20 minutes and started helping neighbors. Good candidate for extension challenges.

Breezing through basics. Assigned extra challenge problems. Interested in how conditionals work in game logic.

Very engaged with loops—asked about nested loops and efficiency before we covered them. Pointed toward optional recursion reading.

Started on Project 1 early. Adding extra features beyond requirements. Need to ensure documentation doesn't get neglected.
