#### 模块一：引入——变量和数据类型的意义
**时间：10分钟**  
1. **案例引入**  
    - 展示一个简单的真实案例：  
      在一个小型库存管理系统中，存储商品数量、商品名称和价格的信息。展示代码片段：  
      ```python
      item_name = "书籍"
      item_quantity = 20
      item_price = 35.5
      total_price = item_quantity * item_price
      print(f"商品名称：{item_name}，总价：{total_price}")
      ```
    - 问题探讨：
      - 为什么需要为每个数据赋予一个名字？

3. **变量的命名规则和最佳实践**  
    - 规则：  
      - 必须以字母或下划线开头，不能以数字开头。  
      - 区分大小写。  
    - 最佳实践：  
      - 使用易懂、有意义的名字。  
      - 遵循小写字母、单词间用下划线连接的命名方式（Python 的规范）。  

4. **示例代码演示**  
    - 用多个代码片段讲解变量和数据类型的实际使用：  
      ```python
      # 整型和浮点型的使用
      age = 25
      height = 1.75
      print(f"年龄：{age}, 身高：{height}米")
      
      # 字符串类型
      name = "张三"
      print(f"姓名：{name}")
      
      # 布尔值
      is_adult = age > 18
      print(f"是否成年：{is_adult}")
      ```

**Course Title:** Data Analysis  
**Lesson:** Loops – The Circle of Data Life!  

---

### **Learning Objective**  
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:  
1. Understand the concept and usefulness of loops in programming when dealing with repetitive tasks in data analysis.  
2. Write and implement basic loop structures (e.g., `for` loops, `while` loops) in Python to automate recurring calculations.  
3. Apply loops to real-world data analysis scenarios to clean, iterate, and extract meaningful insights from datasets.

---

### **Module Breakdown**  

---

#### **1. Warm-Up: The Never-ending Story of Repetition**  
**Time Allotted:** 10 minutes  
**Objective:** Set the stage for why loops are essential in data analysis.  

- **Activity:**  
  *Kick things off with a relatable analogy!* Pose the following problem to the class:  
  *Imagine you have to calculate the average test score for every student in a data science class of 100 students. Oh, but wait! Once you do that, you need to calculate their grade percentages and write it all out in a report... by hand.*  

  Ask students to estimate how long this would take and share their reactions ("forever" is an acceptable answer). Then segue:  
  "Luckily, programmers are lazy but clever. We have *loops*! Today, we'll learn how to use them to let the computer do the boring work for us. And we’ll do it smarter, not harder."

- Transition into defining what loops are: "Loops are your hired assistant – they let you repeat processes without repeating your code endlessly."

---

#### **2. Core Learning: Let’s Make Loops Jump Through Hoops**  
**Time Allotted:** 30 minutes  
**Objective:** Teach the mechanics of loops with relatable and practical examples.  

##### **A. Basic Syntax & Types of Loops** (10 mins)  
Using Python as the primary programming language:  
1. Explain the two main types of loops:  
   - `for` loops: "Besties with lists and ranges!"  
   - `while` loops: "They're the guardians of conditions."  

2. *Example Code Demonstration:*  
   ```python
   # A simple 'for' loop
   for i in range(5):
       print(f"Student #{i} says hi!")

   # A simple 'while' loop
   x = 0
   while x < 5:
       print(f"Student #{x} says hi!")
       x += 1
   ```  
   *Humorous Note:* Tell the class, "The magic of loops is that they do repetitive work tirelessly. If they were humans, they'd have serious caffeine habits."

##### **B. Common Pitfalls to Avoid** (5 mins)  
Discuss potential issues like infinite loops (*Why your computer fan suddenly sounds like a jet engine*) and off-by-one errors. Use bite-sized examples of what NOT to do:  
```python
# Infinite loop: Oops, forgot to update x!
x = 0
while x < 5:
    print("Oops, I'm stuck here!")
```  
*Use humor to drive the point home:* "Debugging an infinite loop is like trying to eat spaghetti with chopsticks – messy and frustrating."

##### **C. Real-World Case Study: Cleaning Messy Data** (15 mins)  
1. Load a dataset with some commonly found errors (students can be provided a simple CSV file in advance, e.g., "Student_Grades.csv"). The dataset could contain:  
   - Missing values (represented by `NULL`).  
   - Outliers (crazy-high test scores like 999).  
   - Incorrect capitalization in text fields (like `john` instead of `John`).  

2. Walk them through using loops to clean up the data step by step:  
   - Replace missing values with averages using a `for` loop.  
   - Remove outliers using a `while` loop.  
   - Capitalize names using a `for` loop.  

   **Example Code:**  
   ```python
   import pandas as pd

   # Load dataset
   df = pd.read_csv('Student_Grades.csv')

   # Replace missing values with average
   for col in ["Math", "Physics", "Chemistry"]:
       avg = df[col].mean()
       df[col].fillna(avg, inplace=True)

   # Remove outliers
   while len(df[df['Math'] > 100]) > 0:
       df = df[df['Math'] <= 100]

   # Capitalize names
   for i, name in enumerate(df['Name']):
       df['Name'][i] = name.capitalize()

   print(df.head())
   ```  
   At every step, pause to explain what the loop is achieving.

---

#### **3. Hands-On Project: Automate a Gradebook**  
**Time Allotted:** 30 minutes  
**Objective:** Apply knowledge of loops in a project-based format.  

Provide students with a new dataset (e.g., "Final_Project_Grades.csv") containing:  
- Student names.  
- Scores for multiple assignments.  
- A bonus percentage column.  

**Challenge:** Students must write a Python script that:  
1. Calculates the total score for each student by computing weighted averages.  
2. Applies the bonus percentage to the final score.  
3. Categorizes students into letter grades (A, B, C, etc.).  
4. Outputs a summary of students and grades.

**Hints to Provide:**  
- Use a `for` loop to iterate through student rows and calculate totals.  
- Use conditional statements (`if`/`else`) inside the loop for grade categorization.  

**Stretch Goal:** Add functionality to detect and warn the user if a student has failed (e.g., scores below 40%).

---

#### **4. Discussion & Reflection**  
**Time Allotted:** 10 minutes  
**Objective:** Cement understanding through exploration and critical thinking.  

- **Discussion Questions:**  
  1. "Why are loops a key part of data analysis workflows?"  
  2. "How do you decide between using a `for` loop and a `while` loop in a given problem?"  
  3. "What challenges did you face today, and how did you solve them?"  
  4. *Bonus fun question:* "If you were trapped in an infinite loop in real life, what would you do forever?"  

- **Key Insight to Encourage:** Make students think of loops not just as tools for repetition, but also as cornerstones of automation and efficiency in data-driven tasks.

---

#### **5. Extend Your Learning**  
**Optional Assignments:**  
1. **Explore Real Datasets:** Find a public dataset (e.g., from Kaggle or Google Dataset Search). Write a Python script using loops to extract and analyze insights.  
2. **Read and Research:** Write a short reflection on how loops are used in big tech industries (e.g., algorithms for machine learning, web scraping, or log analysis).  
3. **Challenge Activity:** Learn about nested loops and implement them to create a multiplication table – or even try solving a Sudoku puzzle programmatically!

---

#### **Overall Homework**  
Implement your finalized gradebook Python script on an additional dataset provided (e.g., "Homework_Data.csv"). Submit your code and output via the learning platform.

---

### **Wrap-Up: Closing the Loop**  
Ask students: *"Who feels like they’ve unlocked the Matrix of automation? Talk about turning boring work into glorious efficiency, am I right?"*  

End with this reminder: *“Loops are a programmer’s best friend. Trust me, you’ll never want to calculate averages by hand again.”*
