21TRA615 Lists in Python - Leaving Certificate Computer Science

This session covers Loops in Python. We will cover creating, appending, deleting, copying, indexing and display 1D lists, and if time permits an introduction to 2D lists. While we will cover content, the goal is to work on how to deliver such content in the class, basing our approaches on “use, modify, create” and PRIMM with suitable take-home activities.
