30-minute pacing suggestion per lecture

  • 0-8 min: concept and syntax
  • 8-18 min: examples and dry runs
  • 18-25 min: common errors and MCQ traps
  • 25-30 min: quick practice with answer check

​
Week 4 exam traps (must master)

  • list methods modify list in place but often return None
  • sets are unordered and remove duplicates automatically
  • tuples are immutable even if list syntax habits suggest otherwise
  • list comprehensions build new lists; they do not modify old list unless assigned
  • function arguments follow position and naming rules
  • mutable objects passed to functions can change outside function too

​
Final revision checklist

  • can access, update, and slice lists
  • can explain difference between list, set, and tuple
  • can predict output of collection method calls
  • can write list comprehensions from loop logic
  • can define and call functions with different argument styles
