Software Carpentry at Oklahoma State

I recently instructed Git for the third time at a Self-Organised workshop on the Oklahoma State University main campus. I enjoy instructing and helping with the Software Carpentry workshops (and hopefully will get to do a Data Carpentry soon) and each workshop is always different from the last, so I was excited to participate again.

Because of a scheduling conflict, we only had the lab for five hours on Day One. In five hours (with two 15-minute breaks), we went through the entire bash shell lesson without many hiccups. One thing we did create for the bash shell lessons was a series of three-question quizzes we launched live on Socrative before each break. The learners had good feedback about this and felt it was a good way to break up the lessons and provided a good review of concepts they had just learned.
