What you most hope to learn?

Code

results %>% group_by(workshop) %>%

workshop	hopes.pre
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Version control and batch processes
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Git version control and managing coding projects through git;
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Although I use the unix shell a lot, I have never had any formal training, so I think this will be helpful to make sure I am doing everything correctly. I will also most likely have to use Git in the future for my work, so I would love to learn how to use it properly.

How an instructor or helper affected your learning experience

Code

  select(workshop, instructor_example.post) %>%
  drop_na()

workshop	instructor_example.post
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Seth went out of his way to research the answers to the very specific questions I asked. It was really fun talking about how bash scripts work and how to do version control and how the conventions are.
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	instructor gave nice graphic explanation to help me understand abstract concept
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	They were very responsive to questions and ensured everyone was always caught up!
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Instructors clearly explained the promised topics, provided useful applications examples, and helped with troubleshooting as we followed along. They listened carefully to questions and provided thoughtful answers based on their expertise. I feel comfortable applying the bash scripting techniques immediately and feel much more up to speed on Git basics– enough to experiment with it on my own in the future.

Workshop Strengths

workshop	workshop_strengths.post
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Specific questions were answered. We received a lot of one-on-one guidance because it was so small.
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Easy to catch up for a beginner. Our problems can be solved immediately.
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	’-the small workshop size I thought actually made it better for my personal learning; -the flexibility of the instructors meant all of my questions were answered
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Good coverage of topics and examples; Instructor expertise; Friendly, inviting atmosphere

Ways to improve the workshop

  drop_na()

workshop	workshop_improved.post
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	Depending on the size, I would say restructuring it to be more of a seminar/discussion type was more appealing for the last 2 days of the workshop to me. I felt I got a lot more out of it.
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	maybe more effective ad for more students to attend. also, sometimes it just hard to find a free schedule for 3 consecutive days for students.
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	It was sad it almost got cancelled! Some advertisement improvements could be made to ensure at least a slightly larger attendance. At least enough to make it financially viable
2022-10-18-ucsb-bash-git	The workshop was great. More time with the instructors– another day or two– would have been valuable. For additional hands on experience with some of the concepts and to dig into more sophisticated aspects of those.
