What helped us learn (let us move forward) 2 min

A: The practical work, discussions within groups, wrap-up was a good reflection on lessons learned
A: working in groups and example exercises with a good level of complexity
A:group work
A:
A:group work, shared expertise among classmates, discussions, working examples
A: Open discussions in groups, trying different ideas, seeing different approaches, dealing with unexpected errors/behaviours
A:
A: individual exercise about making a package and deploying it
A: Discussion with teachers when they asked questions incl. the last summary session
A: Work in larger groups worked well
A: real-world examples of for example documentation, hands-on exercises
A: Good examples in the documentation What stopped us from learning (What held us back) 2 min¶
A: already familiar with some of the exercises
A: Exact exercise not always clear
A: tight schedule so not so much time to ask questions/discuss
A: some parts felt rushed and not practiced enough
A: lack of time
A: not enough time to finish the task on uploading the python package. It would have helped to have either extra time, or very explicit instructions on how to do it.
A:
A: too large group when working on the documentation
A:
A: groups with more than two (maybe three) people in zoom meetings can be chaotic and hard to discuss What could we do to improve learning (What can we invent) 2 min¶
A: stick to developing the weather project so that it would be fully functional in the end (would be more fun to write docs too)
A: some quizzes before the course to raise motivation to read up on the literature before the course :)
A: Less concise description of exercises, smaller groups
A: tasks regarding the use of Git/Github were a bit repetitive in the sense t
A: extend the schedule to have more time for practice and revision
A: Make the teaching material more concentrated: some topics had too many (interesting and insightfull, though) details. Keep core knowledge. This could help save time for practice.
A: present an overview of the different parts/tasks in the project in the beginning to have a clear idea what to acheive
A: Stay in a single project, maybe updating the files we use each day to be consistent (since we cannot do everything). For example, having a single Requirements file was better than using the two rushed options we had during group work. This could maybe be the same for all steps
A: maybe consider having an in-person iteration of this course. so much group work on zoom is difficult and at least in my experience it would be more productive in person.
A: fix phrasing/typos in some tasks/questions What will we do(Act) [Teachers only]¶
