25-
The key learning objective from this workshop is to
26-
_Provide participants with \<Your workshop objective here\>_.
27-
28-
However, more specifically we will achieve this through to:
29-
30-
* add more detailed objectives here,
31-
* list any specific tools and techniques to be used,
32-
* add any other sub-skills that will be covered,
33-
* state what the outcome of the exercises/lecture will be.
34-
35-
With regards to specific content we cover:
36-
37-
* optionally, consider adding specific takeaway skills here
38-
* for example, classification and regression with neural networks
39-
* for example, how to add and commit files to git
25+
The key learning objective from this workshop is raise the awareness of the importance of software reproducibility, and give the participants and understanding
26+
and basic tools to improve it.

### Mini ReproHack
47+
48+
The [Mini ReproHack repository](https://github.com/Cambridge-ICCS/MiniReproHack) can be used before, alongside or after this course, to learn hands-on what makes software reproducible. It contains instructions on how do a [reproducibility hackathon](www.reprohack.org) by trying to reproduce the results of real climate science papers.

### Prerequisites
5854

59-
To get the most out of the session we assume a basic understanding in a few areas and
60-
for you to do some preparation in advance.
61-
This expected knowledge is outlined below, along with resources for reading if you
62-
are unfamiliar with any areas.
63-
64-
- List here any key skills or knowledge that will be assumed of a user for the course,
65-
- for example, basic calculus (integration and differentiation of a function) and matrix algebra
66-
- Provide resources where appropriate,
67-
- for example, Basic Neural Networks - we recommend the
68-
[video series by 3Blue1Brown](https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-networks), at least chapters 1-3.
69-
- Also include any programming expectations
70-
- for example, the course will be taught in Python using [`numpy`](https://numpy.org/)
71-
and [`pandas`](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/getting_started/index.html).
72-
- We assume users are familiar with the basics of Python. This includes:
73-
- Basic mathematical operations
74-
- Writing and running scripts/programs
75-
- Writing and using functions
76-
- If users need to clone the repository from GitHub/Lab using git also note this.
77-
The [ICCS Summer School](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrwzK4CnJ3Q) should provide the necessary knowledge.
55+
To get the most out of the session we assume a basic understanding of the research process, programming in Python and research software.
7856

57+
The ICCS [RSE Skills workshop](https://github.com/jatkinson1000/rse-skills-workshop) gives you an overview of many of the topics mentioned in this course.
7958

80-
### Preparation
81-
82-
List here anything that you expect participants to have on their computer in advance of the course in order to participate.
83-
For example:
8459

85-
- A text editor - e.g. vim/[neovim](https://neovim.io/), [gedit](https://gedit.en.softonic.com/), [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/), [sublimetext](https://www.sublimetext.com/) etc. to open and edit code files
86-
- A terminal emulator - e.g. [GNOME Terminal](https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/), [wezterm](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html), [Windows Terminal (windows only)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/), [iTerm (mac only)](https://iterm2.com/)
87-
- A Python 3 installation
60+
### Preparation
8861

89-
Remember that participants will have a mix of Unix and Windows systems, and these should be covered
90-
to ensure smooth delivery. Whilst Unix may be a presumed first choice, provide links to information
91-
for setup on Windows, for example
92-
[Windows' getting-started with python information](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/python/beginners).
62+
It is helpful but not mandatory to do a [mini ReproHack](#mini-reprohack) before the session to get a better understanding of the problem of software and research reproducibility.
9363

94-
If you require assistance or further information with any of these please reach out to
95-
us before the session.
64+
If you want to follow along with the exercises, basic Python coding skills and a Python development environment are required.

## Installation and setup
9968

100-
Here you should include any instructions required for setup in preparation for the course.
101-
These may be followed during the sesison as a walkthrough, but you should provide clear
102-
instructions here for participants who take longer, needs additional help, or return to work
103-
in their own time.
104-
It is possible that many participants will not have done this in advance,
105-
which you should be prepared for, but having these clear instructions means
106-
that they can be pointed at this instead of holding up the session.
107-
108-
Things to include are:
109-
110-
- obtaining the code, for example instructions on how to clone the code locally:
111-
```
112-
git clone https://github.com/Cambridge-ICCS/<your-repository>.git
113-
```
114-
or fork the repository if this is required.
115-
- Setup of a computing environment if appropriate.
116-
e.g. in Python:
117-
```
118-
python3 -m venv my-workshop-venv
119-
source my-workshop-venv/bin/activate
120-
deactivate
121-
```
122-
- Installation of any dependencies
123-
- Provide links and instructions
124-
- If using Python, Julia, R etc. package these or use a `requirements.txt` file
125-
- getting started instructions
126-
- instructions on how to get started with the first exercises of the workshop.
127-
for example, loading the first jupyter notebook, or building andnrunning the first exercise
128-
129-
Note that you might consider providing a [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/)
130-
or binder implementation that can be run online in case participants have issues using the
131-
code on their local machine. Instructions for this approach should also be provided.
