# Alan Cao Bi-weekly Check in (1st Round)

## Lab/Tools/Resources Feedback

- What do you think about the training? (I.e. slow, fast, just right, hard, easy)
    - _Keep in mind of TFs who are former students, we are gearing towards new tfs with little to no experience in iOS_
    - for him not that fast paced - likes best the live coding 
    - the live coding and the break out rooms are helpful bc he can kinda see how they could teach it from the way other TFs are doing it


- What do you think about having separate trainings one for those who never took the iOS course before and one for those who already took the iOS course?
    - separating them would be better because when theyre first learning, the way the technical training sounds it introduces everything really fact
    - this question was not relevant to Alan and idk if its worth asking unless they're new TFs

- What do you think of changing our 7am lab to 8am?

not relevant asking bc he goes to 1pm session

- How can we improve the labs
 - likes having one solid app like completing the Yelp
    - would want more difficult features but does not know what sorts of topics he would want the features to revolve around
    - introducing concepts that you might not usually learn in the basics

- How can we improve the assignments 
    - Update videos
    - Movie API had to copy/paste the networking call, would want better explanations 


- Have you checked out our portals (i.e. task tracker setting up organizer dashboard, course portal, discusssion space, notion space). Any Feedback?
    - Task tracker does not have a lot on it that he could interact with rn, mainly logistical stuff
    - Missed out on a Slack message and lost communication with UCSD TFs 
    - Notion is pretty basic and understandable 
        - Has not really navigated through the Notion a lot but know where to go

these questions weren't really helpful at all, kinda created an awkward conversation
