Editing Community Data Science Workshops (Fall 2014)/Reflections (section)

=== Morning lecture ===

The [[Community Data Science Workshops (Fall 2014)/Day 2 lecture|morning lecture]] was given by Frances Hocutt and it was well received. Unsurprisingly, the example of [http://placekitten.com/ PlaceKitten] as an API was an enormous hit: informative ''and'' cute.

Frances used excellent slides which are shared [[Community Data Science Workshops (Fall 2014)/Day 2 lecture|on the wiki page]] and which we will reuse. About half found the lecture either too fast or too slow and about half found the lecture to be just right.

Since many people felt the lecture was on the slower side, we want to use this time to introduce function definitions. We will also devote a bit less time to review which, because of the one week spacing between sessions, feels less important than it did last time.
