The course is composed of several articles—there will be over 50 when the basic course is finalized—and each article is a few thousand words long. Each article focuses on a specific microtopic, and where appropriate, contains background on the topic, essential theory, practical examples and walkthrough tutorials to follow, and exercise questions to test your knowledge.
A logical way to teach the course is to work out how many lessons you’ve got available to teach it over, and divide it by the number of articles. For each lesson, get the students to read over the articles connected to that lesson before the lesson occurs. Then go through practical examples during the lesson, and get the students to do the exercise questions after each lesson. Logically, I think an hour should be enough time to go through the concepts contained in each article, as long as you get the students to read each article before the lessons are taught. There is perhaps about 50 hours of teaching time in this course, and 50 hours of background reading. Obviously, you’ll have to think about the amount of time you teach the course over and exactly what to cover in each lesson, but experimentation is key.
