coursework-planner's Introduction

Welcome to your coursework planner

This is how you will plan and manage your coursework at CYF. You will add all your work as issues to your fork of this repository, and then use a project board to manage your work. This is broadly how all technical projects are managed, so you will need lots of practice. Get started today.

1. How to get set up

Fork this repo to your own GitHub
Turn on issues in the settings

You must fork to your personal Github account. Forks created in the CYF org will be deleted by the bot.

2. Every module, add your work as issues

Each module has a module repo. The coursework for each module is added as issues to that repository.

Go to the module repo
Click on the Issues tab
Copy each issue from the module repo to your own coursework repo.

We are building a tool to automate this process, but for now you will have to do it manually. We all use the Kamino Clone Button Chrome extension to make this easier, so you could try that.

3. Refine your tickets and add them to your project board

Copy the example project board
Link your new project board to your fork of this repo
Add your tickets to the project board, using the labels to help you assign the fields
Make your board public in the settings, so your mentors can see it

There are example project boards attached to each module, showing you ways you can use boards to manage your time, prioritise, scope, and track your work. You should use the same project board all the way through the course, and add to it as you go. Learn as you go, and adapt your board as you learn.

You can, and should, also add your own tickets to the board. Just remember it's a public board, so don't add anything you don't want to share with your mentors.

How to get help

How to submit

Fork to your Github account.
Make a branch for this project called feature/destructuring
Make regular small commits in this branch with clear messages.
When you are ready, open a PR to the CYF repo, following the instructions in the PR template.

gitGraph
    commit id: "start"
    branch feature/destructuring
    commit id: "ex-1-update-argument"
    commit id: "ex-2-teachers-pet"
    commit id: "ex-3-print-receipt"
    checkout main
    merge feature/destructuring

There are several projects in this repo. Make a new branch for each project. This might feel challenging at first, so this is a good problem to bring to class to work on in groups with mentors.

Don't make one giant PR with all your work in for the module. Make a separate PR for each assignment.

How to review

Complete your PR template
Ask for review from a classmate or mentor
Make changes based on their feedback
Review and refactor again once the coursework solutions are released.
