Ready for Pilot Workshops?

[sstevens2]

Hi @colinsauze and @vinisalazar!

I'm working on organizing a series of mini-workshops for next semester at my institution. We are hoping to pilot some of incubator lessons. We have an instructor interested in teaching this lesson. Do you think this lesson would be in a good place to pilot later this year? Any additional info you could share in it? We could also provide feedback from learners/instructors/helpers.

Happy to meet and discuss more. If you'd like to set up a meeting, let me know.

Best,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Sorry for the slow reply, just got back from holiday and trying to catchup with all my emails.

I've already taught this course once (and I think @bkmgit taught it recently too) so I think it is probably good enough for a pilot this year. Saying that there are quite a few things I'd like to fix/improve still, but I hope to have them ready for next semester. I would also like to teach it next semester along with some other incubator lessons.

Feedback and potential improvements would be most welcome. If you want to setup a meeting to talk about this then sometime later next week would work.

Hi @sstevens2,

Only recently that I have become a maintainer in this lesson, and haven't yet taught it, so @colinsauze is indeed the person to answer this. Having this said, I'm available to help with improving the lesson, and would also be interested in teach/help with teaching it if I'm available at the time. So I'd gladly join that meeting if my schedule is compatible.

Best,
Vini

Happy to help. There is a pull request to add the dimension reduction lesson #16 so there is a complete set of lessons. Improvements and testing are welcome.

Hi all--Chris Endemann here. I am working with Sarah and will be teaching this course next semester. I have created a doodle poll for us to set up a time to meet--linked here. I'd like to discuss the course materials and possible ways to improve it at this meeting.

Please fill in this poll by COB Monday, Aug 2nd. Looking forward to meeting some of you!

We are set to meet this Wednesday, the 4th at 11am CDT. I'll leave the meeting link here in case anyone else happens to see this and wants to join us:

So that is 4pm UTC if I'm converting this right.
