[Meta] What is involved in learning a new language? #5059
Comments
Is there a plan for getting students' feedback? Not sure how many people actively check out my track's repo (Common Lisp) |
We currently do not have a great way to communicate with student to be honest, but if you know any students, feel free to point them to the Common LISP issue and have them post their experiences there. |
Is there an expectation for completion for these issues? |
Good question @wolf99! There is not yet a definitive end date, but I'll give it some thought next week. |
As a student, I pretty commonly visit my track's main page. You could try to embed a link to these issues on that page, or a link to some sort of survey collection, or even just embed a text dialog there, and then try to do a little bit of magic for tracking when they responded so you can hide it, or make it dismissable, aaaand maybe don't show it at all if they haven't even finished a single exercise. |
As a student with experience (some of which may hinder or confuse learning new things); I like to explore the boundaries and ground-rules of languages.
A Colleague introduced me to Exercism as a thing we should use. They would like to become a mentor. |
Hello 👋 With the launch of Exercism v3, we are closing all issues in this repository to help give us a clean slate to detect new problems. If this issue is still relevant to Exercism v3 (e.g. it's a feature that we haven't implemented in v3, or a bug that still exists), please reopen it and we will review it and post an update on it as soon as we get chance. Thanks for helping make Exercism better, and we hope you enjoy v3 🙂 |
We've recently started a project to find the best way to design our tracks, in order to optimize the learning experience of students.
As a first step, we'll be examining the ways in which languages are unique and the ways in which they are similar. For this, we'd really like to use the knowledge of everyone involved in the Exercism community (students, mentors, maintainers) to answer the following questions:
We’ve opened issues in each track’s repository, where you can share your experiences with us. You can see them referenced below. If you’d like to discuss the general ideas we’re exploring, you can use the newly-created #exploring-idioms Slack channel. Want to keep your thoughts private but still help? Feel free to email me at erik@exercism.io. Finally, if you have questions about the process, please respond on this issue.
Thank you!
