# Week 8

***Note1:** Object Oriented Programming is a difficult but powerful concept, please take your time to revise the topic!*

***Note 2:** If you want to install packages in the environment we set up during the course, you can do so by running* `%pip install`*`package_name` (notice the %-sign!) e.g.* `%pip install PrettyTable` *in one of your notebook cells after you selected the environment. This is only needed once, after that it can always be reimported with* `import`*. If it doesn't work (e.g. in Colab, try* `!pip install`*`package_name` with ! instead of %)*  

### To-Do (Until 17/12/2024) <a href="#to-do" id="to-do"></a>

Object Oriented Programming is not an easy concept. The video is almost three hours long!

For the best learning experience, it's recommended to watch the lecture twice: first for a quick overview, and then more slowly while taking notes. Please ensure you allocate sufficient time for this.

* **Work through the following homework assignment (short)**
  * <https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1XYmbiRmgRtK9NVm8GtSjKtE--7S2u6qQ?usp=sharing>

Always first create a copy with "Copy to Drive" or download the notebooks to work locally on them. Otherwise your progress won't be saved.
