Assessment
Lesson 2: Introduction to Github
In this lesson, the activity will graded more as a participation grade rather than a formal assessment. Oftentimes, technical issues may arise, prohibiting a student from finishing all exercises. If this is to be the case, students who were not able to finish the activity in class will be asked to do so on their own time for full participation credit. Alternatively, students can elect to attend office hours for more one-on-one help. All students should have at least filled out the worksheet which will also alert the instructor to any technical problems/concerns.
At the conclusion of class, students will submit a link to their GitHub repository. Completion of the activity and participation in the lesson will be assessed by reviewing each student’s repository and the log of changes they ‘committed’.
