Hi David, Vanderbilt's doing something similar. We're planning on having a 1.5 mo long Software Carpentry workshop hosted every Friday. We'll use the core, required curriculum (Shell, Git, Python or R) and the lesson on SQL. Shell and Git will each take one day, and Python and SQL will be broken into halves. Our full-time graduate students just don't have the time to take three consecutive days off from classes. Fridays are their only 'free' day.
I asked the Carpentries (twice!) if this was unorthodox or not allowed, but they ok'd it in full. The Carpentries were kind enough to link me to an example of an extended workshop: https://datacarpentry.org/blog/2018/04/dc-seven-weeks I'm planning on asking students to review the material/progress we've made before the next Friday's lesson. I also might build a mini-curriculum to get them back into the swing of the lesson. Good luck! -Meredith ------------------------------------------ The Carpentries: discuss Permalink: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T1e9023d7a45042e7-M777effc9fbc66a28a15d4c03 Delivery options: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
