Why are we doing this?

The curriculum is our shared plan. It's how you find out what to do when. You need to be able to use the curriculum, and help volunteers (who may have just arrived that day!) understand how to use it too.

Make a default set of tabs in your work browser:

Your Coursework Planner Project (to organise your backlog - look at the example planners for inspiration)
The curriculum
MDN
Your Google Calendar (to easily record your study sessions, classes, events, and meetings)

Book a time in your calendar to start your prep

Book a recurring time in your calendar every Wednesday (at a time you can actually do) to begin your prep work for the week. Now make sure you know where the prep view is! The prep view on the curriculum has information you will need to participate in class and complete your coursework. The work on the prep view is the main new content each week, and includes exercises, videos, tutorials, and more.

🔑 You must prioritise doing the prep work.

Many trainees like to organise study sessions to go through the prep together. This is great for motivation and keeping yourself on track. You are welcome to come to a permanent Meet to work on prep.
