Hi ali -- Just wanted to say Mabuhay -- I have fond memories of the Philippines from being a student in Metro-Manila from 1971-1976 (at the International School in Makati). My dad worked on decentralized planning, taught a course at UP. Mom was an activist working on behalf of tribal minorities and earned a history degree at Ateneo de Manila (we weren't missionaries though). We visited Baguio a few times. A man named McGee was a headmaster of some local school back then, but I forget which. Anyway, here are some college level courses that use Python, which you might get some ideas from: http://www.classes.cs.uchicago.edu/classes/archive/2001/spring/CS326/syllabu... http://sandbox.mc.edu/~gwiggins/syllabi/csc233/csc233-python-syllabus.html http://www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys165/williams/ Kirby At 05:25 PM 7/26/2002 +0800, Ronald Mangaliag wrote:

This is the course (not strictly codified into a syllabus yet -- we're probably doing this the wrong way round) that will be launched in the Physics department of Oxford University next October. It's work in progress, so subject to alteration. <http://users.ox.ac.uk/~sann1276/handbook/> -- Michael

thank you very much for your help.... Quoting Michael Williams <michael.williams@st-annes.oxford.ac.uk>:
