No new weekly graded submission is created.**\n\n## How to work independently\n1. In Colab, save a copy to your Drive and use a CPU runtime. In Jupyter, open this notebook and select a Python kernel.\n2. Run the complete worked walkthrough below from top to bottom. Read every Markdown checkpoint; the walkthrough is included so no previous notebook state is needed.\n3. At the Independent Exercise section, write each prediction in the response cell before running its experiment.\n4. Run the starter experiment, make the requested controlled change, and record the actual result. Edit only the declared factor; preserve split rules and preprocessing.\n5. Explain one mechanism and one limitation. Export the evidence JSON and discuss it with a partner.\n\nThe core exercises need no paid API, private dataset, or GPU. The agent units use clearly labeled offline simulators, not real LLM calls.\n\n**Reproducibility boundary:** the original guided notebooks were previously executed; the new extension cells have not yet been execution-tested in this revision.

The setup installs only missing free packages. A network connection is needed for first installation; the data itself is generated locally.\n4. If a variable is undefined, restart the kernel and run all earlier cells. Do not skip a setup cell.\n5. Save a personal copy before changing parameters. Every core cell is complete: there are no hidden files, tokens, paid services, or unfinished code blocks.\n\n**Data:** synthetic teaching data, not engineering measurements.
