Questions/Notes for 21 March 2014 Bocoup Education Meeting.

#curriculum audit questions

  • No specific bookmarks on:
    • performace
    • web standards
    • selections
  • Key concepts and web development skills that are on the backend
    • API design
    • databases
  • where do we teach forms? HTTP?
  • do we want different tracks for programming concepts sans the web? (intro to concepts, computer science topics)
  • how and when do we want to include jQuery?
  • MVC -> there is a backbone class but do we want a generic MVC class that introduces all of the options? has students build an MVC from scrtach (a really useful exercise IMO)
  • there were a lot of bullet points on security... do we want a security elective for advanced students?

tracks questions

  • what is the difference between the frontend and web engineer tracks in your mind?
  • how do we feel about tracks and then "levelled" electives, where completion of a track requires 3 req'd classes and then liek 2 intermediate and an advacned elective?
  • what is the purpose of tracking? so people feel like they make progress? so they know what comes next? so people know what is appropriate for their level?

ops

  • what capacity do we have? # of classes per week on rotation every x weeks? do people have to wait a long time to take the next class? is there no freedom re the next step? do people feel locked into a month schedule?
  • do we have the capacity for TAs? or just a single teacher?
  • students access to code after the class? when its in the training app do they lose access?
  • IRENE: how can we provide solutions without giving students an easy way to access the solutions

class structures

  • i really feel like it is important that students get an individual project day at the end of a class
