Would you like to run Javascript 101 in April?
Go back to: General discussion
Is anyone interested in facilitating Javascript 101 in the April semester of SoW (starting April 18th)? I will be glad to help out as a o-facilitator.
Details for creating a course draft can be found at
How many hours total did you spend?
I spend about 10 - 12 hours per week, and there was some amount of time I spent initially creating the course page, managing enrollments, etc.
However that was because along with learning along in the course, I also created the questions to ponder and assignments for track 1. I also tried to read at least a few blog posts every week.
OK, if you had to do it again:-)
1) Would you restrict the number of participants?
2) What single major change would you make, if any?
I am on the fence about restricting participants. But I think it does make sense to restrict the participants to 50 - 60 good applications. This will ensure a better learning experience for everyone.
The biggest change I would make is getting rid of Eloquent Javascript :-). I think I would still use Douglas Crockford videos, along with links to explanatory material. Also homework assignments that actually manipulated a webpage from week 1 itself.
I'm doing the challenges, just finishing number 4.
After (if) I get done with them, I will give some more thought to facilitating the next course.
