Consider varying types of exercises #94

Open JordanPedersen opened 4 years ago

JordanPedersen commented 4 years ago

In other LC, SC and DC lessons there fill-in-the-blank type exercises and rearranging code exercises (referred to as faded learning in the instructor training), maybe even multiple choice. It would be useful to vary both the type and intensity of exercises in SQL, because they feel really repetitive (and not in a good, reinforcing way). @librarianlise and I will investigate where to add these

Is this too extreme, @librarianlise @JordanPedersen I can see turning all of the exercises into faded learning exercises? From what I've seen of prior workshop feedback, the written challenges are sometimes hard for people to process. You've had recent experience teaching the lesson, do you find this is the case?

Perhaps we need an audit of the whole lesson to break it down my episode. This will take time. Maybe for a later sprint: 3 or 4 months (September 2021) @jyssy @libcce @mimkes @kristindawn

Maybe it could be usesful to learn to create a very small table in the first episode in this workshop, just to know the basics how a table is created in the beginning before we start to extract information from tables. I use this comment for intstructur training checkout.
