+## Updates
+
+- Schedule -> Pushed back
+- Course overview -> Small changes to tutorial order
+- Module 1 -> mostly complete
+- Module 2 -> Started
+- Planned formats of material
+ 1. Markdown
+ 2. Latex
+ 3. Notebook - Interactive
+
+---
+## Topics
+and questions
+
+- Jupyter Notebook
+ - Python Jupyter lab notebooks will be made once markdown files are complete.
+ - Alternative: Independent Jupyterlab notebooks as separate interactive assignment.
+ - My Goal -> To make course available in different formats (notebook, pdf, html?) to allow students to choose their own learning environment that suits their preference.
+ - Pros & cons:
+ - + Interactive
+ - + Good for teaching
+ - - Slow
+
+- GitHub Education Pack
+ - Autograding feature like matlab grader. Requires Github understanding.
+
+ - Extent of Git and Github integration in course
+ - Learn by doing -> Teach git early to keep track of their code throughout the course.
+
+- Created "MiniProjects" List
+
+- Project Assignment
+ - inspired by Dr. Carlos Montalvo numerical methods textbook.
+ - Every engineering problem: dependent variable = function(independent variables, parameters, forcing functions)
+ - 3 page report.
+ - No code is shown throughout the report until the appendix.
+ - Intro
+ - Theory - Math model
+ - Results
+ - Appendix - All the code
+
+---
+## Discussion
+
+- Gantt chart -> more detailed for tutorial
+- Current Gantt chart needs updated
+- Working over the summer not needed
+
+
+- Move Git & Github in Module 2
+ Github education -> Too many tools
+
+- Move to Notebook and use that instead of Spyder.
+
+---
+## Actions
+
+- Convert a .md file tutorial to a jupyter notebook file.
+- Make a Gantt chart for the Modules: 1-5 spread them around to be done by November with all tutorials for all modules
+- Tie concepts from each module to practical problems (take a first crack at it -> we will revise it during our next meeting)
+- Descibe a bit Github. Let's boil it down to: Github is a repository with a bunch of resources. students need to know how to search for it, download/fork the repository, run the code on their own computer, submit modifications back to their repository. \ No newline at end of file
