* setting expectations in the classroom
* promoting effective study habits

We would also appreciate additions to this list of things we *don't* do,
and explanations of why not:

peer instruction
: This powerful teaching method has been proven effective,
but we are already asking workshop participants to assimilate a lot of new things,
and picking up a new learning technique while learning the basics of coding and data wrangling
seems too much to ask.

certification
: Many people have asked us to certify workshop participants in the same way that we certify instructors,
but any meaningful certification process would require a lot of resources to set up and run.
