  • TEACHING-CURRICULUM: Quick Familiarity - Part 1
  • Here is the 12-page book summary which you’d have seen in the quick familiarity project(s). It might be useful if you need a very brief refresher on the various techniques. Note that the scope of focus for this whole course encompasses everything that we do as teachers at Umuzi, including Code Reviews, Technical Sessions, learner support, and any other interactions we might have with learners.

    In this project, we’re going to hone in on the first chapter, which is focused on techniques that set and uphold high academic standards.

    These are the 5 techniques covered in the chapter:

    1. No Opt Out
    2. Right is right
    3. Stretch it
    4. Format matters
    5. Without apology
