Tiers of training¶
There are a lot of necessary skills for doing data intensive biology. How do you teach them all, and in what order?
Here’s a set of tiers of training for an intro class or course in next-gen sequence analysis; feedback welcome!
My teaching philosophy is to try to motivate later topics by first introducing the concepts in a useful workflow, and then diving deeper into the topics once they’ve been motivated. So the approach is to start with the minimum necessary to get something done, and then explain it in more detail after the first pass.
Interpreting this diagram¶
Except for the second tier, completion of all of the topics in one tier would be necessary to move on to the next. For the second tier, completion of at least one topic would be needed to move on to the next tier.
