All student participants must complete and submit the pre-ThaiPASS exercise before arriving at ThaiPASS. This is located in the 'Pre-Tasks' folder. Instructions on using Git Hub are provided below.
For students with little or no Python experience, we recommend that you register and work on the basic Python ThaiMOOC by Dr Teeraparb Chantavat.
The exercise will be in the form of an iPython notebook which you can use Anaconda to open (using the Jupyter Notebook application).
Please edit the iPython notebook and email it to [email protected] by 1st April 2021, 12noon (Thai time).
Try your best to answer all questions. We are not looking for perfect answers, but we want to see that you have tried your best! We will give feedback to all submissions.
You are welcome to send us any questions (in English) about this exercise or about Python. We will be happy to hear from you.
Good luck!

Using Git Hub is a great tool for professionals who write programs. What makes it so great to use is that if there changes to the docts and pieces of written code, usually to fix problems or 'bugs', they can be uploaded to Git Hub and then everyone that uses the code from that repository can then update their versions quickly and simply 'at the push of a button'.
Now, we should start by downloading everything on this repository. To do this we will use the git hub desktop software: for Apple MacOS users click here, for Microsoft Windows OS users click here.
Once downloaded, Windows OS users should proceed to install the software onto your machines by double-clicking on the downloaded file and following the on-screen instructions; MacOS users only have to 'unzip' the file and the application can be loaded straight away by double-clicking on the unzipped file.
When you have loaded the application, there will be a screen that will ask you if you would like to "sign-in' into a Git Hub account, you may click on "skip this step" as it is not necessary.
The next screen will ask you to input your name and e-mail address, please do fill in each of these fields and then continue onto the next page. We will detail how to download a repository below.
We will now guide you through downloading (known as "cloning") a repository from git hub using the desktop software
- You should now have a screen like the one below:
-
Please click on "Clone a Repository", you will then be presented with the box with different 'tabs' to choose from, select "URL" (see below).
-
Then copy and past this link, https://github.com/Milne-Centre/ThaiPASS2021.git, into the Repository URL Box. You then may choose the location on where the folders and files from the repository are downloaded/cloned to by clicking on the "Choose..." button.
- When you are happy with the location of your cloned directory, press the blue "Clone" button in the bottom-right corner of the box.
During the week of the school, we may add new things to this repository. So, we will need to update what we have already downloaded.
- To do this in 'Git Hub Desktop', select "ThaiPASS2021" on the left hand side of the git hub desktop window (see the red arrow in image below), if it is not already selected.
- With the "ThaiPASS2021" repository selected within git hub desktop, now click the "Fetch Origin" button (as indicated by the blue arrow).
You now have updated the repository with the latest changes and files.
We hope you will enjoy your time preparing for the school, and do not forget to contact the ThaiPASS UK team with any questions or problems you may have with the tasks we supply here. E-mail: [email protected]
