Hi Steven et al. I’m interested to hear what counts as “unbranding”, as I am using SWC and DC lessons in a trial special topics course “Sampling, Data Management, and Visualization” for graduate students here at UNL. I used the workshop template because, well, it was really well laid out and works great! After reading this http://software-carpentry.org/faq/#who-can-run-a-workshop I poked around and removed the SWC logo from the header and renamed some links in the footer. So, my main course page http://atyre2.github.io/2016-01-11-lincoln/ and the linked pages for each weeks material are branded UNL, as are the videos I’ve produced to demonstrate material. I’m still linking back to the lesson pages, which remain branded SWC. I left those ‘as-is’ because they are up there for anyone to read, and getting set up to generate lessons on my own is proving, ah, difficult.
Is that sufficient “unbranding”? -- Drew Tyre School of Natural Resources University of Nebraska-Lincoln 416 Hardin Hall, East Campus 3310 Holdrege Street Lincoln, NE 68583-0974 phone: +1 402 472 4054 fax: +1 402 472 2946 email: [email protected] http://snr.unl.edu/tyre http://aminpractice.blogspot.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/atiretoo From: Discuss [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Van Tuyl, Steven Sent: Monday, February 15, 2016 10:11 AM To: Ethan White <[email protected]>; Adam Obeng <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Discuss] SWC material as a semester long course? Thanks for sending these, Ethan. What is the general protocol for approval of this type of thing by SWC/DC? I suspect “approval” is not the right word, but were one to explode the 2 day workshop into component pieces of whatever flavor, can we still brand it as “carpentry”? I’ve been considering this at my institution and, being a new guy around here, don’t want to get into hot water with the SWC/DC side. steve <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Steve Van Tuyl Digital Repository Librarian Oregon State University Libraries & Press web | http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/vantuyls orcid | http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8752-272X email | [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> phone | 541.737.3492 From: Ethan White <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Monday, February 15, 2016 at 8:07 AM To: Adam Obeng <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [Discuss] SWC material as a semester long course? Hi Adam, I have run semester long versions of SWC in Python (http://www.programmingforbiologists.org/programming/) and Data Carpentry in R (http://www.datacarpentry.org/semester-biology/). They were 16 week classes, but with fewer hours per class, so they add up to about the same number of contact hours. Hopefully those syllabi and resources will be of some use. Regarding funding, both of these courses were included in the broader impacts type sections of grants, which made it possible to support some of this work.

This happened partly for fortuitous reasons: I don't have a separate lab session, so I get a computer lab for every class (why not live code); the existing syllabus uses Stata (why not rewrite the whole thing as R in jupyter notebooks); I have the same latitude over the "lab" content as I would if I was a TA. Any advice on putting together a syllabus like this would be appreciated! In particular, I'm trying to work out how much time to spend on basic R concepts vs. cookbook recipes for particular analyses. I don't think I'll have time for anything outside of the R and Reproducible R lessons, except for a bare minimum shell stuff (paths, etc.). I also anticipate that it might be a challenge to separate out the stats and programming concepts, so that the students understand that the R way of doing something is an implementation rather than a definition. Also, any heads-up on whether there is funding available somewhere to support developing this?
