Teaching at the university. Lessons learned.
summary
Four short courses teach Git collaboration, technical writing, UX and software quality using real projects, Git/GitHub pull-request workflow, and peer review; cohorts overflow (60 applicants for 20 seats) and many classes mix juniors and experienced Red Hatters. Review load hits ~18 weekly reviews and instructors juggle hybrid co-teaching. Students finish portfolio pieces, some solutions are production‑ready, and feedback shows 90% asked for more active exercises. Next steps focus on soft skills, continuous learning and language‑agnostic, tool‑agnostic teaching.
