- met new people
- heard some people talk
- ate some panera
- heard more talking
- Started to get up to speed with TA Bot project.
- In particular, I read a paper (``Experiences with TA-Bot in CS1") highlighting experiences with using TA Bot for Marquette CS classes, and read a survey that was given out to assess the effectiveness of the TA Bot.
- starting to understand the leveling system: it only concerns test cases, and the levels represent difficulty of the tests (higher levels corner/edge cases for example)
- big emphasis on the TBS system to encourage students to start work early, but many did not like it
- how are the learning outcomes affected? how do we measure good learning outcomes
- Also, got started with looking at the database of submission scores from TA Bot, and am beginning to look at Python libraries that will help me manipulate this data.
- using base code as a reference
- pandas library: I understand the very basics of series and data frames
- need to understand sorting/grouping/splitting

- heard some talking
- getting comfortable with `pandas` and getting pertinent parts of the TA Bot submissions database
