Need to update episode timings #1

change to schedule September 2024:

During the ‘Programming with Python’ workshop, we always skip the last episode, ‘Errors and Exceptions,’ and cover ‘Making Choices’ after the break. Also extend timings to make it last 9-5pm

9-9:30 Python Fundamentals
9:30-10:30 Analyzing Data
10:30-10:45 BREAK
10:45-11:15 Visualizing Data
11:15-12:00 Storing Multiple Values in Lists
12:00-13:00 LUNCH
13:00-13:40 Repeating actions with loops
13:40-14:10 Analyzing Data from Multiple Files
14:10-14:50 BREAK
14:50-15:30 Making Choices

From Ruxandra, Sept 2024: Firstly, there is usually a slight delay, as we tend to start after 9, and then we begin with the introduction around 9:15, making sure participants are logged into Jupyter, have written their names, and so on. Including a 10-minute intro might help streamline this process (I’m also hoping the flyers will assist). Secondly, due to the initial delay, it’s difficult to remember the exact duration of each episode since I haven’t been tracking it intentionally. Thirdly, by 16:30, we typically only reach episode 8, ‘Creating Functions,’ which happens almost every time. Fourthly, the duration of each episode varies significantly depending on the instructor and how many exercises they choose to cover at the end. To conclude, it would be great if we could add a 15-20 minute intro before the actual start of the lesson. Based on my observations, episodes 5, ‘Repeating Actions with Loops,’ 7, ‘Making Choices,’ and 8, ‘Creating Functions’ might benefit from being extended. Meanwhile, episode 9, ‘Errors and Exceptions,’ could potentially be shortened, as it’s often the one we sacrifice. (edited)
