Intermediate Python
This course is designed for Python programmers who have basic experience with the language or who have taken the introductory Python course. Learners should already have some basic knowledge of Python control flow and data structures (variables, lists, dictionaries). The course will focus on the syntax and structure of Python objects at a deeper level, and the use of functions, loops, and conditionals to produce code that is modular and readable.
Prerequisites:
Students must bring their own laptop with an ability to connect to the UT WiFi network and should already have some knowledge of Python control flow and basic data structures.

If you use the UT ProCard for payment of courses, please be aware that you can only charge ONCE per 24 hour period. Any attempts to charge more courses will fail, and you will not be registered.
For example, you may add one to many courses for one student into your shopping cart at any one time, and charge them to the ProCard, and you should receive a "registration successful!" page at the end. This is because you registered ONCE for ONE student. If you attempt to register and pay again, for example, for a different student, this will trigger the UT ProCard security system to stop payment, and your registration will not be successful. A page stating this fact will occur after you attempt to process payment. It looks a lot like the "registration was successful" page.
Ways to avoid this are: use the ProCard after 24 hours have passed, or the student may use their credit card and be reimbursed later through the usual UT accounting methods, or process the registration with an IDT, otherwise known as an Interdepartmental Transfer (talk to someone in your department that handles the accounts).
