This is what should generally be stated at each start of the session.
- Introduce AU CRU:
- Show website, were to find events, where to go for the material.
- Trying to develop a community to skill share, support one another, and learn better (and proper) ways of using R.
- Everyone is welcome no matter your skill level!
- If you have a passion or desire to teach, please try instructing a session! Everyone is welcome, even if you don't know a lot of R. I am here to help guide and provide feedback on what to teach. Plus, teaching is a great way to learn.
- Explain that it is important to develop a community, not just a class to come to. So we will introduce ourselves each time so we are more than just faces.
- Introduce yourself (and pass around stickies). Then get everyone to go around and state name, program, and department.
- Describe what the stickies are for. One for needing help or being stuck, another for being good to go or having finished an exercise.
- Confirm R, RStudio, and relevant packages are installed, using the stickies.
- Quick round of questions:
- Who has some general knowledge about topic of session.
- What their perceived skill level they are at.
- Other questions that may relate to session topic.
- For those who said they are familiar with R, if you see your neighbour with a "help" sticky or if they are struggling, please help them! I or the helpers can help only so many people.
- Any questions, just email or ask!
To add later:
- We have a Code of Conduct which can be found on our website.
