Course rating:
Very Good
Most useful learnings:
How to structure tests and use the tools.
How to handle legacy code bases.
Argh my brain hurts from holding too much.
Concepts v exercises:
Good balance
Presentation v discussion:
Good balance
Course improvements:
It was hard to follow along on the one screen which was somewhat dark.
Might be useful to have a split screen and/or have the students provide the answers on what to do next so the follow along work is more interactive and easier to follow.
Exercise rating:
Excellent
Exercise improvements:
Everyone struggled at first. Sometimes it felt like it was not clear what to do next.
Without having James/teacher nearby it is easy to get discouraged.
Would be helpful to get a list of hints if we are stuck and working solo.
Instructor comments:
Good examples and engaging.
Willing to help at all levels.
Better prepared:
Much better
Start tomorrow:
It's a Saturday and team needs to rest.
However, I do have an idea of what steps to proceed on the stinky areas of code.
Challenges to applying:
Getting people to take a step back and consider doing it differently.
The hectic pace makes it hard but some of my team have done this before and are more amendable.
