SC Workshop Freiburg

Note: texts in brackets are my comments.

Red

  • more exercises to try
  • make sure all commands work on all environments
  • waiting until everyone was ready at the beginning (install' party?)
  • use yellow post-it for questions too
  • pace could be faster at certain chapters but generally nice
  • Git/GitHub too exhausting (half a day was probably not enough)
  • glass bottles instead of plastic ones
  • not all stuff on GitHub is totally clear yet
  • last exercise not finished, waiting for the solutions to be posted (will be sent by email at +10 days)
  • more shorter exercises
  • short outile of the upcoming distinct lessons would have been nice
  • morning lecture was a bit too fast
  • having to do evaluations all the time (refers to red/greed post-its)
  • exercises with specific problems from audience
  • examples on how not so-technical biologists use GitHub for .doc, .ppt, etc.
  • one more break in the afternoon would be nice (on day 1, we did it on day 2)
  • a little bit too much focus on GitHub (1h / 3h30 spent on GitHub)
  • use the same system for all (Jupyter Notebook was used for Python, it is better during the workshop, but harder for the attendees to reuse their new skills after)
  • vi was confusing (Git Bash does not have nano installed, only vi)
  • would have been nice if everyone had installed Ubuntu
  • if linux or nano are required, attendees should know about it
  • no time for questions (day 1 morning, we finished too late and did not ask for questions at the very end, but we asked right after lunch)
  • too fast at the end (day 1 morning, cf. previous point)
  • too repetitive at the end (day 1 afternoon, about git/github)
  • better explain git checkout
  • a bit slow in the beginning
  • introduce basic terms like variables a bit slower (second day)
  • more mathplotlib if possible
  • some very basic commands would have been explained a little quicker (complicated with absolute beginners)
  • better structure for 2nd day
  • introduction too fast (day 2 morning, about python)
  • more structure to introduce basics of programming
  • more time for the agenda, 3 days instead of 2 (we also think that, with complete beginners, it is complicated to teach Bash/Git/Python in 2 days)
  • more time to introduce variables and files
