# Introduction In this lab, we will learn how to use the `copy()` method in the pandas DataFrame class. The `copy()` method allows us to make a copy of a DataFrame object without modifying the original DataFrame. We will explore the syntax and parameters of the `copy()` method and provide examples to illustrate its usage. ## VM Tips After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the **Notebook** tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice. Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook. If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
