Recruit industry professionals to approve module steps in the Software Development Course
Skills / background
Industry professional with >5 years experience
Can be for new volunteers
Remote async volunteering role, but can be organised into a "step review party" if desirable
Commitment
Minimum: 2 modules
Maximum: 6 modules
2 hours per module
Numbers (reasoning)
How many steps: 6
Each trainee completes 1 step per module. There are 6 modules. For SDC 1 with 15 learners, we need to budget for 15 reviews per module. There should be very low drop off. 14 of 15 SDC trainees are expected to complete the course. However, all step review must be complete for trainees to access the Launch module.
The peak time for SDC #1 step review therefore will be 📆 June 2025
How long does it take: ~8 hours per module
We think it will take ~30 minutes to complete a step review. So for 15 people this will take 8 hours
Unlike ITD, the submitted coursework is already reviewed, so this doesn't need code review.
How many people do we need: ~4 => 1:4
A healthy number for 15 trainees would be 4 people globally committing 2 hours each per module for the first run. Let's say a ratio of 1 step reviewer to 4 trainees. 1:4
What does 'enough' look like
No step goes unreviewed for more than 1 week
How to participate within CYF
Join #sdc in main Slack
Read the step review canvas, all details will be there
Each step success criteria is listed on the website, for example https://sdc.codeyourfuture.io/computers/success/
