Questions from the audience

1. Is it possible that we could arrange an in-person event for training streaming and other technical stuff

   • RD: I've wanted to do this! But there hasn't yet been critical mass. But in practice what we will do the second half of today is what you need to know.

2. Can you mention something about how to asses the class, how to know if you are clear enough and speed etc..

   • Since we have co-instructors and the "break time" (you'll see in second half), there is lots of time for feedback and adjustment even during the course.
   • We also do small polls in between or at least in the end of each workshop days, example from previous workshop notes: https://coderefinery.github.io/2024-09-10-workshop/questions/day1/#news-for-day-1
     -> Since we have multiple workshop days we can adjust to the audience
   • For clear enough: Questions that come up are a good indicator of that and a nice way to see what needs to be picked up in lesson wrap-up

3. Where does one find the feedback from past workshops?
   -> Direct workshop feedback we collect in the bottom of each days Q&A document (coderefinery.org -> Workshops/events in the naviagtion bar up top -> Past -> Choos a workshop -> Q&A in the navigation bar up top -> choose a day and scroll all the way to the bottom) One example: https://coderefinery.github.io/2024-09-10-workshop/questions/day1/#feedback-day-1
   -> We also run a more long-term feedback survey: https://coderefinery.org/blog/2024/08/10/post-workshop-survey/

4. How to let us know about any issue with the lesson materials?
   -> Open an issue (everyone can do so)
   -> mention on chat
