Future lesson ideas #13

Open aays opened 5 years ago

Now that we're about ready to wrap up the first four lessons, I figured it'd help for us to keep a running list of ideas for future sessions. We should also get a survey ready to send out after the Git lesson.

Definite future sessions:

Possible future sessions:

Spitballing:

Lightning Demos (5-10 minute demos from people in the crowd)

Solid list Ahmed!

Here are some additional ideas:

I'll post more as I think of them.

For the next few lessons, what are your thoughts on (in no particular order):

  1. project management
  2. Git/GitHub
  3. Plotting in R
  4. Another Python lesson (e.g. dataviz with introduction to the idea of classes, methods, etc.).

Of course, we should check responses to the new survey once it's sent out and make changes as needed.

I'm on board with all those suggestions, and I think the four of those sound good for the next few (barring the survey showing some serious demand for a different topic)

I'm thinking the order could be

  1. Other Python lesson
  2. Plotting in R
  3. Project management
  4. Collaborating with Git/GitHub

This progression sort of matches the first four we did, which I think would be a good idea.
