Hi David, I ran a 4 x 3 hours session workshop after hours a few years ago, to try to accomodate students who couldn't make the standard 2x full days format. The hardest challenge to deal with was people not showing up/not being able to make all 4 sessions, and losing people who didn't "get" what they wanted (R) in my first session, which focussed on Unix. And of course the fact that people were kind of tired at 5:30 - 8 pm ...
I'm open to doing it again someday, but would probably shift the order of topics to somehow give people a bit of the "main" programming language in each of the first 3 sessions. Hope this helps, Darya On Thu, 6 Dec 2018 at 10:16, Inigo Aldazabal Mensa <[email protected]> wrote: > In fact today we just started our first "split" workshop, covering a > standard SC Python track along two weeks.
