Recommendations for CSSI

The most up to date curriculum (August 2015) is the curriculum in the github repository.

Lead Instructors should be familiar with the whole curriculum - even if a module instructor will be covering the lectures, lead instructors should be able to help with bugs during exercises and project week.

For setting up laptops:

  • create an image with everything installed, image all the laptops with it
  • The current tech assumptions:
    • Atom - open source text editor by Github
    • Python 2.7
    • git
    • Chrome
    • Google App Engine Launcher
  • Students will need a Github Account

Curriculum Creation:

  • Never have more than one version of the files
  • Creating and editing curriculum in the same room is much better than over GVC.
