How an instructor or helper affected your learning experience

Code

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

workshop	instructor_example.post
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	I asked about underlying technology or other ways of doing things during the workshop and got my answers addressed.
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	Very knowledgeable, Ron was able to provide answers to implementation questions
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	Instructor and helpers came to our individual workstations to help trouble-shoot if we had difficulties. Excellent explanations also - both the steps we needed to take, and future steps to request additional resources/more complicated containers.

message("Could not do the plots as there are no pre or post results to show")

workshop	workshop_strengths.post
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	Clarity, well organized
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	Hands-on activities and comfortable pace and very friendly instructor and helpers.
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	Clear and well paced instructions
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	The instructions list was extremely helpful
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	Useful
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	This was the clearest explanation I have had on working in containers. Thank you!; Valued opportunities to ask questions - especially valued the instructor+helpers walking around and helping individuals to troubleshoot if needed.; I valued the end-resources as well — links to ACCESS and info on how to request cloud resources there.; The workshop was accessible to participants at a variety of skill/experience levels.

Ways to improve the workshop

2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	shorter
2024-06-04-ucsb-containers	I would value more information on interacting with your desktop/data storage location. For example, best practices in uploading data and downloading results, including addressing privacy issues if the data are confidential.
