Ideas for Improvement to SBR600
Feedback from 2010-3 Students
- Feedback about the value of the course was fairly positive.
- Common material at the start of the course was not very applicable to some projects.
- More coverage of VCS (Git) and Python was requested.
- More handholding requested (!).
- Note that 1/3 of the class voted with their feet and did not continue in the course to completion.
Reflections on 2010-3
What worked well
- Good interaction with selected upstreams
- Jesse, Luke, and James on fedpkg and autoqa
- Armen on Mozharness, firefox-fedora repo
Ideas for Improvement
- Starting students on projects earlier would be valuable.
- Need to review some basic sysadmin skills and principles
- Using public/private keys with ssh
- Least privilege
- Need to give more feedback, especially in the 0.1 range
- Should provide an assessment point at the Initial Research Plan stage
Students and Recruitment
- Good to have students who are comfortable coding
- Need to attract students who are not in their last semester
