Fall 2019 Schedule + Call for Instructors #455

Closed aays closed 4 years ago

aays commented 5 years ago

Hi everyone! Fall 2019 is now underway and we're excited to get started with our lessons for the semester. Have a look to see which ones you'd like to attend!

We're also on the lookout for instructors for many of the lessons below. If you see a lesson currently without an instructor (designated with **) that you'd like to teach, get in touch about instructing with us -- more info on how to do so below!

Please also feel free to leave comments about lessons that are not listed here but which you'd like to see in the future (or which you'd like to teach yourself).

We will shortly be posting details and installation instructions for each of these lessons in the link below -- be sure to keep an eye out! https://github.com/UofTCoders/Events/issues

Sept 26 Intro to Python Haidy (@HaidyGiratallah)

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 (lessons needing instructors indicated with **), please reply here or to uoftcoders@gmail.com with the following:

We will get in contact with you after that to coordinate. Please keep in mind that 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!

margot-l commented 5 years ago

I can definitely do Data visualization in R and/or Intro to Python.

Best, Margot

@margot-l Awesome - I'll wait to see if any external instructors respond re: either of those lessons and put you down for the other if that's alright?

ralle123 commented 5 years ago

Can I take intro to statistics in python? Thanks, Raul On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 7:41 PM Ahmed Hasan notifications@github.com wrote:

SaraMati commented 5 years ago

I can do code review

librarianlise commented 5 years ago

I could teach Intro to Statistics in R on Nov 21. Is this a new session topic (there's no previously linked material)? I can look at other lessons on Software/Data carpentry for ideas, and would welcome any other input on aspects to cover.

I've read the guidelines.

ralle123 commented 5 years ago

I did it in the spring, let me see if i can find it

librarianlise commented 5 years ago

Oh, I see it now in the lessons folder (https://github.com/UofTCoders/studyGroup/tree/gh-pages/lessons/r/statistics) - I just assumed since it wasn't linked that it was new.

aays commented 5 years ago

@librarianlise My mistake for not linking that - we should update the Lesson Content tab on our website with that lesson, since I totally missed it. However, if you'd like, you're absolutely welcome to modify the lesson/create your own from scratch and submit a pull request!

Could you also email us at uoftcoders@gmail.com so that we have your contact info + can coordinate further closer to the lesson?

davidechicco commented 5 years ago

Hi all I am replying to the call for instructors to propose myself as a teacher for a session on "Introduction to machine learning" in December 2019 or January 2020. I already gave this lecture to the UofT Coders audience in February 2018, and I would like to repeat that experience. Please let me know if it's possible :-) Thanks

aays commented 5 years ago

@davidechicco Thanks for reaching out and for the offer -- we'll be putting together our lesson schedule for next semester later this month and will definitely keep you updated!

jessexknight commented 5 years ago

I will also be running some workshops at the UofT library on LaTeX, and they're open to all! I'll keep you posted on the dates and times

linamnt commented 4 years ago

Thanks @jessexknight keep in touch! I'm closing this issue but as @aays mentioned, we'll be putting together the next schedule and keep you updated.

jessexknight commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the reminder @linamnt! We have the dates now:
