propose new session plan & discuss w/ Ralph

[hannesdatta]

@RalphGit21: make schedule draft in Excel

• think about what to offer online and what to offer offline

GOALS:

1) align course w/ PAPER & project

(let students READ parts of the paper & make active use of the tables as a kind of cheat sheet)

So for example, first lecture on how to choose a good website for scraping, second lecture on methods (e.g. selenium vs beautifulsoup) and which one to choose. Next lecture on loading packages and staring with the project (e.g seed generation), next lecture on scraping content etc. So that each lecture would show step by step on how to build a scraper and it could interactive that students have to say ideas for the code and we would discuss why this and not that approach is better. I think that would help us to understand the logic behind Python.

2) allocate more time to coaching sessions

3) plan in detail the "live stream" lectures so that content does not depend purely on Pulse

Design principles:

• Paper has to come back more prominently across the sessions

• Workload at the beginning of the course needs to be more balanced

• Cut waste in tutorials

• More “structure” in live sessions (e.g., stuff we will actually do)

• blended learning
