Adam I may or may not have mentioned this: Greg told me a *long* time ago that Dan Ellis [1] from electrical engineering at CU is also involved with SWC. I tried to set up a more formal workshop system with him in the past, but I'm not at CU anymore.
>From the blog post about this topic [2], Jenny mentioned that teaching rmarkdown and reproducible documents is a great way to get people to do analysis and have it published on github/the web. Makes the entire thing very motivating for students. - Dan [1] https://www.ee.columbia.edu/~dpwe/ [2] http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2016/02/swc-as-a-university-course.html On Mon, Feb 15, 2016 at 5:36 PM, Greg Wilson < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > According to our FAQ (http://software-carpentry.org/faq/#trademark), you > can call something a Software Carpentry workshop if: > > - it covers our core topics (the Unix shell, version control with Git or > Mercurial, and modular programming in Python, R, or MATLAB) > - at least one certified instructor is teaching > - it runs our standard pre- and post-workshop assessments and sends us the > results > - it sends us summary statistics (at a minimum, the number of people who > attended, though we're grateful for contact info as well) > > It doesn't matter to us whether the material is taught in two condensed > days, four half-days, or over several weeks, as long as it's covered. > We're also agnostic about whether the material is part of a larger/longer > course, or whether or not participants get course credit from the host > institution, though we always like to hear about experiments in those > directions. > > I hope this helps, and we'd be happy to answer other questions, > Cheers, > Greg > > > On 2016-02-15 11:11 AM, Van Tuyl, Steven wrote: > > Thanks for sending these, Ethan.
