Daniel Chen has made some strides in this direction. I'm sure he'd appreciate help in further developing the instructor survey. http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2014/11/revised-instructor-survey.html > You might like to ask what version of the materials were used (in the vast > majority of workshops I've organised we've used a customised fork of the > materials, not the originals) and how long each of the components took (or > how much was covered in x time and what was skipped). Time estimates are difficult because there are so many different teaching styles. Some people have the learners type along during the lesson, others have them just watch.

The administrators should help you implement the standard workshop assessments. http://software-carpentry.org/workshops/operations.html http://software-carpentry.org/workshops/assess/index.html Best, John _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
