Table Layout

Read this: Environment - U Shaped Tables Layout

  • Tables should not be against the walls; we are using the walls as a main working area in this course.
  • A “U” shape organization of the tables is optimal for education, and thus required. Least optimal is rows of tables facing an instructor; this is not allowed.
  • A "teacher table" near the front in the open space of the “U” shape of tables, for placing the projectors and coach laptop.


Computers, Software and Networking

Read this: Environment - Minor TDD exercise

  • There are a few short exercises on spreadsheets. These are team exercises (average 5 persons per team). Thus, at least one laptop is required for each team; two is nicer. Therefore, ask people to bring a laptop if they have one.
  • A power supply is NOT needed for each table, because the computer use is minimal. However, please ensure there are some powerstrips “somewhere” in the room so students can recharge laptops.
  • No network is required.
