Liz called the launch week incredible and exhausting, and several students said they felt overwhelmed. In response the Complex Adaptive Systems podcast skipped a week of filming so everyone could finish the readings, with filming moving to roughly every other week. The second episode was shared uncut, and the edited first episode was in its first round of editing, aimed at a mid-February launch.
Machine Learning spent the week on data cleaning, which the class treated as the hardest part of data science. AI and Agents covered Sparse Priming Representation for retrieval-augmented chatbots. Learn to Code on Thursdays was cut until new beginners joined.
Senior and junior devs adopted RACI role accounting to credit who helped on each project, and a Research Page for the website was in the works.
