mine + @pmagwene + @pschloss + maybe @kristinariemer

goals:

anything i'm missing?

mine-cetinkaya-rundel commented 9 years ago

to do list: @mine-cetinkaya-rundel 1. turn pre-workshop info to a format that can be shared with participants

@mine-cetinkaya-rundel 2. pick a case study and create an example of instructor's notes

@kristinariemer 3. create a pre-workshop survey asking

@pschloss 4. create a reproducibility checklist handout

@pmagwene 5. clean up https://github.com/Reproducible-Science-Curriculum/rr-intro/blob/master/intro-02-instr-notes.Rmd so that the agenda / schedule is clear

deadline: april 20

question for @tracykteal and @hlapp: how do we deliver the materials to the participants? we will have some Rmd files as well as pre-workshop materials (downloading R/RStudio instructions etc.).

Hey all,

@pschloss The checklist was put together by Billy, so it has been started.. I even put a version on The Guide to Reproducibility website. Sorry I cannot find the original markdown though. I will look.

Can you let us know (organization group 1), when you get a better understanding of the concepts the students will learn from the Rstudio lesson? The students will be doing a lesson in Rstudio in the next section.

pschloss commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion - We were going to split this off into its own repo. Does that make sense? I think we need a "real" first draft that we can use to get people's reactions to.

@pschloss in terms of delivering content, do you want the participants to have all the files in the repo, or just some of them? If it's all, then the 'Download zip' github functionality works OK.

This is a good broader question though. How do we want people to download the files? It would be nice not to have people do it for each module. We could use re-logistics-join to make one repo of all the lessons. @richfitz

mine-cetinkaya-rundel commented 9 years ago

@tracykteal We were thinking the participants would get some of the files in the repo for the exercises (only the markdown templates necessary for the exercises). Given that we are to expect some participants new to programming, it might be a bit daunting to have them download the entire repo. We should certainly link to the repo for more info though.

I think it makes sense to have one zipped folder of everything you need for the whole workshop, though I realize this requires some coordination of each group coming up with a list of what those files are for their sessions. Would some sort of tagging of file names help?

tracykteal commented 9 years ago

Thanks @mine-cetinkaya-rundel I agree that one delivery of all the necessary files would be best.

What if in the README there was a 'Files necessary for this lesson' section? Then the files that need to be downloaded could be listed, and we can figure out how to get them all together before the workshop. Tagging the files would be good too.

mine-cetinkaya-rundel commented 9 years ago

@tracykteal sounds good, we can add such a section to the README

tracykteal commented 9 years ago

thanks

Also, did an intro to R and RStudio end up in these lessons? I don't see that it's being covered in other ones, so I wonder if it might need to be here? I can work on that if it's needed.

mine-cetinkaya-rundel commented 9 years ago

I believe this is what we have for intro to R/RStudio - note that it is work in progress until next week

iamciera commented 9 years ago

File Distribution: Just keep me updated on how you want the files and I will format properly.

R Studio : We introduce them to literate programming and knitting documents in R Studio. Basically I have a report (in progress) where they specify which countries they are interested in at the beginning of the code and the report knits plots those countries. What you have planned should work for R studio introduction to prepare them for our lesson. They just need to replace four words and run chunks.

Are we just requiring them to come to class with R Studio installed on their computer?

KristinaRiemer commented 9 years ago

@iamciera They're supposed to install R and RStudio ahead of time. It's also specified that they can get help with installation during the coffee break at the end of session 1, see instructor notes for that.
