To close the loop, I did two activities as "capstones": - since I didn't get to the command line scripts part of the python lesson (as I'd planned), I did an hour-ish variation from that lesson. (Lengthy) notes are here:
- https://github.com/ChristinaLK/swc-lessons/tree/master/script_capstone - another hour-ish activity introducing them to pull requests (*sans* branching). Upstream repository was: - https://github.com/crazapplejuice/flags I don't like the "toy" aspect of creating flags, but I wanted something that would be fun, relatively easy even for pure novices, and not too taxing at the end of a long two days. Also where everyone could do something different, so the pull requests wouldn't collide. :P A nice variation (I just thought of) might be if you taught a tiny bit of markdown (R folks, esp) in the first half of the afternoon and then had everyone create their own mini report to submit as a PR. Thanks to everyone who responded! I took bits and pieces from several of you. :) Christina On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 8:35 AM, Christina Koch <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm teaching on the second afternoon of an upcoming (Python) Software > Carpentry workshop and am figuring out what to do on the afternoon of the > second day. > I already have some options, but if anyone on this list has "capstone" or > "special topics" materials that they've put together for the final quarter > of a workshop, even if it's super unorganized/casual, I'd love to see it, > both to get some ideas and hopefully to avoid reinventing the wheel. > > Thanks, > Christina > > -- > Christina Koch - Research Computing Facilitator, > University of Wisconsin - Madison, Center for High Throughput Computing > Advanced Computing Initiative; Wisconsin Institute for Discovery; ACI-REF > [email protected] // (608) 316 - 4041 // tinyurl.com/ChristinaCalendarCHTC > -- Christina Koch - Research Computing Facilitator, University of Wisconsin - Madison, Center for High Throughput Computing Advanced Computing Initiative; Wisconsin Institute for Discovery; ACI-REF [email protected] // (608) 316 - 4041 // tinyurl.com/ChristinaCalendarCHTC
