Fall 2017-2018 Schedule + Call for Instructors #295

Closed linamnt closed 6 years ago

linamnt commented 7 years ago

Hi Everyone,

New Meeting Times:

Weekly Sessions Thursdays, 6pm + Biweekly Coworking Sessions Tuesdays 4-6pm

Based on the doodle we sent out, we have decided to move our weekly meetings to Thursdays at 6pm at MP408.

Also, we will be having a new second session every other week on Tuesdays, 4-6pm at a location TBD starting Tuesday September 19th. These will be coworking sessions (no lessons taught) where you can come by with something to work on or if you need help with something.

Fall Schedule

Thank you to everyone who filled out the UofT Coders survey. It was very helpful to us, and we've planned the fall to include some of the most popular lessons requested.

Thursday Lecture Schedule, MP408 unless otherwise stated

Tuesday Coworking Sessions, Location TBD

Call for Instructors

We wouldn't be able to hold these weekly sessions without volunteers from the UofT Coders community, and we're always welcoming of any new volunteers who would like to teach or help in other ways. If you'd like to volunteer to instruct one of these sessions, please reply here or to uoftcoders@gmail.com with the following:

 - Which session you'd like to teach
 - If you're okay with the proposed date
 - If not, what date you'd prefer to teach the lesson

I will get in contact with you thereafter to coordinate.

Note: You DO NOT need to be an expert in the lesson topic to teach! While some familiarity is required, if you'd like to use this as an opportunity to further your understanding of the topic, we highly encourage that as well!

linamnt commented 7 years ago

Sorry about that, some of the dates for the lectures were erroneous in the original post reflecting the old meeting time of Wednesday and have been corrected to the appropriate date of Thursday on this posting.

@linamnt I could take a stab at Intro to Programming in R! That being said, would I be using the existing material, or would I have to put something together from scratch? (Totally okay with either!)

lwjohnst86 commented 7 years ago

@aays You are totally welcome to use the existing material!

joelostblom commented 7 years ago

@linamnt I can take the intro to Python!

linamnt commented 7 years ago

Thanks @aays! That's great, as Luke said feel free to use the existing material as is, or modified :)

Hi Raul, do you have a preference? Both are currently open, the intro to scikit learn has been taught before so there is preexisting material which you are welcome to use too!

Hello Lina,

I can do the - October 19 - Introduction to Machine Learning Concepts, am I free to use a little python or R and perhaps show a tool called Weka to show the algorithms I will talk about or do you prefer a code along session?

let me know

Raul

mbonsma commented 7 years ago

@ralle123 @linamnt - the October 19 Intro to Machine Learning can be more high-level, not necessarily a code along. We were thinking this session is more to 'explain the hype' - define some terms, show people what machine learning entails, that sort of thing.

The following week will be a code along for sure where people can get into it themselves.

derekhoward commented 7 years ago

I'd be interested in teaching the intro to NLP. I think Nov 2nd would be fine.

ralle123 commented 7 years ago

I can do the October 26 - Python's scikit-learn ML package, I would give an introduction on the 19th of ML and then implement examples with scikit-learn =). let me know

linamnt commented 7 years ago

Hi @ralle123 we have someone for the Oct 26th lecture (@nsahin), so if you do the 19th ML Concepts, that would be great. If you'd both like to coordinate on what topics you'd cover, you could do that too.

nsahin commented 7 years ago

Hi @ralle123,

If you would like to meet and discuss the topics we would like to cover, please email me at nil.sahin@mail.utoronto.camailto:nil.sahin@mail.utoronto.ca

Best,

Hi Everyone,

Thank so much to everyone who has volunteered so far to instruct. We have one last lecture to schedule in, "Interactive Plots and Graphics for the Web" which can cover D3, Plotly, Bokeh, Shiny or other interactive plotting languages or packages. It can focus on one or multiple of these depending on your preference.

Please email me at uoftcoders@gmail.com if you are able to teach this 1 hour lesson on November 30th.

Cheers, Lina
