DSF Fall 2023 Learner Log Entry #5

Prompts

Following the Rose/Bud/Thorn model:

The rose/bud/thorn learning model is a simple but powerful tool for reflection and improvement. It encourages people to identify positive aspects (roses), challenges (thorns), and opportunities (buds) in a given situation. This information can then be used to plan for the future and make changes as needed.

Here is how the rose/bud/thorn learning model works:

  • Identify roses. What went well? What did you enjoy? What were you proud of?
  • Identify thorns. What challenges did you face? What could have been done better? What did you learn from your mistakes?
  • Identify buds. What opportunities are there for growth? What are you curious about? What new things would you like to try?

Rose:

The highlight from the previous FOSS session, such as something you found particularly interesting. This could also be something you're excited to implement now.

  • FOSS session 5 was about Version Control: in particular, we focused on the differences between git and github and we described tools and approaches to create a git repository. I found extremely interesting the way git can help to make programming reproducible. Honestly, I did use git a couple of years ago for one of my master's project and I was not able to understand how important it can be for open science, interoperability, and communication. I am happy that thanks to this session, and the previous ones, I deeply understood, and hopefully soon explore, the potentiality of the git. I am also happy to have discovered the different approaches we can use to create a repository.

Bud:

Something that you are looking forward to digging into deeper. This could also include ideas on how to apply concepts to your research in the future.

  • I think that the only way to explore the potentiality of the git, apart from the tutorials, is to actually work with it, so I am thinking about how I can introduce it in my work and research.

Thorn:

Something that was challenging that could be worked on, such as anything that wasn't 100% clear and could be elaborated on. Any sticking points should be addressed here.

  • No complain for this session!
