In this assignment (Homework 8) students create a design document for parsing NBA player values. Using real NBA player information, students must create a design document that prints out Top 10 info for total points scored, total rebounds, total minutes played, and efficiency. This design doc is to be used in support of the development of the program that is outlined in HW 9: Tracking the Greats of the NBA.
This is Homework 8 of a introduction to computing course in Python. It should be done before HW: 9 Tracking the Greats of the NBA- Design Version, which is also found in the collection.
See sequencing in the syllabus and course schedule. Additional guidelines for student success on this assignment and throughout the course can be found in the syllabus.
Consider allowing students to use data from the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) as a way to potentially broaden the interest of students.
By framing this assignment using data from the NBA in order for students to practice creating top-down design documents and breaking large problems down into manageable, small chunks, this assignment uses Meaningful and Relevant Content.
