The first week of lectures is over. Just 2 classes, but so much information obtained. The first class was a great intro to the subject itself, from which I have learned some basic course information.
One of the most useful concepts learned was George Heilmeier's Catechism, which I believe is necessary for any project conducted. Simple questions help identify whether the idea is really worth following or is just a failure from the beginning.
Additionally, even though I knew that documentation is important for any project, I got persuaded once more that sometimes investing time in good documentation is worth more than some other improvement to the project. Documentation is one of the key things to pay attention to when working on a project. Experimental and creative research types are both interesting in their own way and may be more or less important based on the discipline.
Last but no the least, MHET project was interesting to learn about, and the fact that it was being developed in a language other than Python or R made it stand out for me, as I am less familiar with other tools.
Overall, this was a week full of new concepts and people. I would like to thank everyone who took part in it 🙂
