Dear All,
I taught this material for the first time yesterday. All things considered I
think it went quite well. The main concerns I have are:
1. The amount of material - headers in the .md files all say 30 mins. I
can't see that you can go through it that quickly for a novice class. This
meant that even though I was teaching all day, I only got through 4.5 out of 6
sections, and that was with cutting out some exercises to save time.
2. Live coding - several learners asked if they could have the notes
(which I'd promised to give at the end). They didn't have enough time to follow
what I was typing - a copy of the notes would allow them to refer back. I
believe the Software Carpentry approach is only to share the notes afterwards.
Is this correct?
Thoughts and comments from those who have taught the material would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Gerard
