Curricula audit

Q4 2017

We currently maintain around 1,000 pieces of student-facing Eagle content*

Web dev bootcamp curricula are our most mature, but also have most user reports

Curriculum department has a high volume of student-facing communication, which gets closed out quickly.

Mastery evals and proofreading are progressing nicely. Lesson quizzes remain to be done, but we've got a prototype.

To meet target for LEARN, GIT, REACT, WEB-DEV-001, and REACT, we're doing a round of proofreading.

We'll always have some volume of bad explanation reports, but to make a big dent on existing ones, we'll do a windows audit and revise our JWT/auth content.

Web dev bootcamp curric:

Short-term strategy

• Finish proofreading
• Windows audit
• JWT revisions
• Finish rolling out mastery evals
• Lesson quizzes 
• Promises and fetch in WEB-DEV-002
• Fact-finding re: current approach to testing

Data science bootcamp curric:

Short-term strategy

• Proofreading
• Convert prep-course notes to GH issues
• Add big data / Spark specialization
• Student outreach
• In-depth audit of DATA-201 by SME

At the bottom of the stack, skills courses...

• FEWD-001 should incorporate relevant WEB-DEV-001 and WEB-DEV-002 changes
• Opportunistically revisit Python programming fundamentals
