Lesson plan Bianca Intermediate 2025-05-23

I want to practice my 'Feedback' more in this course iteration.

Let's take a look at the current schedule:

When Who What
9:00 R Introduction
9:15 J GPUs
9:50 . Break
10:05 P Transferring files
10:55 . Break
11:10 R Efficient jobs
12:00 . Lunch
13:00 B Software and packages installation
13:50 . Break

14:55 . Break
15:10 R IDEs on Bianca
15:50 R Summary
15:55 R Evaluation
16:00 . END

These are my sessions:

  • [ ] Introduction
  • [ ] Efficient jobs
  • [ ] IDEs on Bianca
  • [ ] Summary
  • [ ] Evaluation

From my reflection:

  • [NO] I don't care about the prevaluation much: let's not bother the learners with it
    • I kept this in, as it is an active working form to introduce the course
  • [x] I suggest to move RStudio to the Basic Bianca course
    • This will be the case :-)
  • [?] I suggest to remove a link to a shared document from the course material
    • BC is OK with this
    • I estimate JY are too
    • PM uses the shared document in his material, so I keep it
  • [No] I suggest a simpler schedule
    • No, this is fine :-)

We have 3 registrations so far. We've decided to teach learner-centered. These are the things the learners want to do:

  • Recently we have applied for a project on Bianca. We will have some human sequencing data. Learning basic operations for a project which is listed in this course will be good for us.
  • efficient file transfer between Bianca and server/local desktop, python usage and GPU programming in bianca
  • How to submit jobs in chunks and use python/PANDAS within Bianca

Introduction

  • Go through the introduction as usual, including the exercises (~10 mins)
  • Describe voting procedure:
    • first, teachers tell why their topic is important (max 1 min per topic)
    • after all topics, we will go through the topics again and learners vote. If all learners are against a topic, we'll remove it
    • removed timeslots will be filled up with topics by request
  • Do voting procedure
    • Go through all the topics, each teacher tell why this is important (1 min per topic)
    • Go through the topics and vote
  • If topics are removed:
