Preparation¶

Here is the current state of my sessions:

Time	Topic	State
10:00	Introduction	.
10:10	Syllabus	.
10:20	Load modules and run	.
14:30	Simultaneous session	.
16:00	Summary and evaluation	.

[ ] Next course iteration: make ‘Load and run R’ point to documentation more

I want to make the course more useful and NAISS-wide, mostly pointing to documentation.

[ ] In the next course iteration: use more active learning methods in this session
[ ] In the simultaneous session, stay formal
[For next time] RB: suggest to make ‘Batch’ 15 minutes longer and remove a session, in the next course iteration

These are the learning outcomes for which I have 45 minutes:

find the module to be able to run R
load the module to be able to run R
run the R interpreter
run the R command to get the list of installed R packages
run an R script from the command-line

I will have to simplify things :-) .

Clusters used in the course (as taken from ‘The important info about the course’ document):
