Time to Move

Okay, you’ve stretched out and are ready for the semester. Remember this is a learning processed driven by each student individually but within a group context including myself the instructor. This is what you should be thinking about:

  • Do you have your Blog setup with an initial post? Perhaps you want to create a category for this course like tc1019.
  • Do you have Twitter setup? Do you know how to search for and follow our course tag of #TC1019
  • Not as crucial yet, but you should also have GitHub setup to use during this course and the rest of your career.
  • Now that you have those three setup, please go register those locations at this link.
  • You should be looking up resources for the topics that you are writing about this partial, did you make a plan of your topics and order to blog? How many posts per week, how many per partial?
  • Remember to blog about each mastery topic as well as any other blogging idea that comes to you. Feel free to use your blog for non-course activities but if you do choose that, please let Ken know and dedicate a category (like #tc1019) to your course posts.
  • You are responsible for your learning here but should be receiving meaningful feedback on progress and direction from myself as your instructor. Your goal should be (at least) three visits with Ken (inside office or outside, but outside class time). You can reserve time with Ken at this link.
  • Oh, have fun too.

In Class Activities

This week I want to give a try at discussions in small groups. On Tuesday we will discuss “What is a Software Engineer” and on Friday the topic will be “Software Engineering Ethics”. You should be able to prepare more for that second discussion on Friday with some lead time; perhaps you can share links that you find below in the comments and on Twitter using our #TC1019 hashtag.
