@lwjohnst86 Just a clarifying question: how do the final project and example package relate? In my head, I have us using Zipf's as the example we build, but the learners are practicing in the exercises on some separate package (the final project).
So, I see 3. above (the final exercise(s) for each chapter) being steps the learners take to build this final project package. But, 4. above (the individual exercises) could be using either Zipf's or the final project package. Is that in line with what you are imagining?
@cwickham sorry for the very delayed response.
I guess it depends on how its structured. When I wrote this I was thinking the final lesson exercise would be like a big "bringing things together" exercise. But actually, as you say, it would be nice to have that final exercise as something to use as a milestone or time for them to work on the final project. And for the individual exercises, yea, I agree, it can be either Zipfs or the final project. I'll revise the language.
Main pedagogical focus is entirely around exercises. They are "first-class" content and are the main thread of the narrative, all other content revolves around them.
Two packages/projects are included in the book:
This is the general plan:
course-design.md
Milestones for completing each item would be:
After milestone 3, 5, and 7, two or three people should do a start-to-finish review. At the very end, everyone should do a full review of the material, which we will aim to complete within a month.
