Choose topic a or topic b from each of the sections. Ensure that you clearly express which topics you chose to discuss $($i$.$e$.,$ use of section headings$).$ the topics you elected to discuss in your paper are evident. This assignment requires you to write a formal paper, not a short$-$answer document or discussion.

Section One

a$)$ Are there conclusions in the narrative that are not supported by evidence?

If so$,$ what were they? How did you determine that it lacked evidence?

If not, describe at least one conclusion in the narrative and explain how it was supported by evidence.

b$)$ Were any of the analyses particularly insightful?

If so$,$ why? What did you learn?

If not, what methods of analysis may be more insightful? Explain. What might you learn? Be concise and specific.

Section Two

a$)$ The analysis in this article is presented in a notebook format.

Describe at least two benefits and two weaknesses of this method of programming compared to using script files.

In programming, several acronyms are used to explain best practices: DRY, KISS, SOLID, YAGNI, and so on$.$ Choose one of these and explain why a notebook cannot fulfill at least part of the concept.

b$)$ There are essentially no comments in the programming code.

Explain why that is an inferior practice.

Find at least one example of programming code that is not readily understood. Look up the functions; backtrace the variables. After you determine what the code is doing, describe what you found and what comments would have made it easier to understand.
