Firming Up Course Goals

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

The best way to design a course is to describe the things students will be able to do when it's over; the best way to do that is to specify graduation exercises. Ours are listed in the Goals page on this blog. We would be grateful for feedback: are these the things you want to be able to do? What did we forget? What could we take out to make room for things you care about more? Please leave your comments on the page itself; we'll update it regularly based on what you say.

Note: the goals page has been retired. See the course outline page instead.
