there are actually two questions in there, the first one whether SWC courses are suitable for library patrons, (i would not think so, but then, i have not attended the training, nor a workshop yet) the second whether the SWC training is suitable for the person asking. that seems more likely, as the person is a science student first of all, and i believe the training should be adaptable to create courses for different audiences. but this also implies the question whether it is acceptable for someone to take the SWC training if they don't intent to become an SWC teacher. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
