When I’ve taught undergraduates I liked to use project based goals to teach them how to do research. It’s a lot easier to have the end in mind as you work towards it. Students also respond the
I was self-taught before I worked at Apple and project based learning didn’t necessarily work for that environment. There was a lot of foundational computer science knowledge that I was missing. It made for some really steep learning curves.
I like to keep my GitHub private, but I’ll be linking to some of my Jupiter notebooks to keep track of my work.
