Module 2 (pre-2023 delivery notes)

[jack89roberts]

Notes from last delivery: #96 (has timings)

Rough plan: Nick starts, switch every break

May not have time to implement these but some thoughts from a look-through.

• [ ] Look at timings from #96 and maybe explicitly mark some sections as optional
• [x] Jazz up section intro pages (e.g. add images), try to reduce walls of text where possible
• [x] Check the formatting of bullet points, quotes, code blocks in markdown, numbered lists etc. (in 2.1.1 some seemed to have been borked by line wrapping)
• [ ] Hands-on
  • [x] Do we still want poetry setup to be part of the hands-on? (yes, see comment below)
  • [x] link to relevant sections of taught material
  • [x] link a pandas cheat sheet
  • [ ] mark sections by difficulty/as optional/say you don't need to do them all (or in order)
  • [ ] make time to go through solutions together
  • [ ] Remove solutions from the website? (or put them somewhere less obvious)
• [x] Could the teaching and hands-on be split across both days?
  • likely too late to change this but worth considering in future at least
  • Day 1: Teach up to and including 2.2.1 Data consistency (this took until ~15:40 in the first delivery), then the first part of the hands-on for the remaining 1hr 15mins or so (may require some re-arranging of exercises to ensure only things that have been taught are needed)
  • Day 2: Rest of teaching material, rest of hands-on

A link to the hands-on section for Module 2 has been sent out in the email to participants to help them get set-up beforehand, so the parts about setting up poetry/Python are best left alone at this point. There will be an extra session on Monday morning to help people out if they have issues with it.
