FAQ

I am an first-time lead instructor and wondering where to start with getting a workshop setup. Do you have a good set of tips?

We have developed a set of tips and a workshop checklist that we think is useful for new instructors. If you have any suggestions we would love to include them!

How can workshop attendees can continue their learning at the University of Chicago after the workshop is done?

Here are a few resources that we know of:

  • Research Computing Center: offers research and training throughout the year on various computing topics
