Determine how to agree on progress measures

[illicitonion]

https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/Module-User-Focused-Data/issues/45 describes that at the end of a module a cohort need to determine whether they're ready to progress to the next module.

This may (or may not!) need revising, given individuals are maybe intended to be more self-paced in ITP.

Hey @illicitonion, I'm reading https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/Module-User-Focused-Data/issues/45 slightly differently. To me, it sounds like it's facilitating the conversation the cohort will have about how best to meet the success criteria - in other words, what strategy will work. So it's not really about deciding whether you're ready to progress. That's my interpretation anyway!

I see where you're coming from here... I think there are two halves of this task, and it's currently trying to do both:

1. At the start of a module, look at what we're planning to learn, so we have some context and framing
2. At the end of a module, determine whether you've achieved all of these things (which formerly was an "as a class" activity), or need more time. I think this is really important, because our course used to have a lot of "you always need to be moving forwards at the set pace", and it led to a lot of people getting left behind and falling further and further behind because there was no way for them to catch up.

I think these are the only backlog items where the "How to submit" is not directly tied to the task being assigned, but instead is a "remember in 3-4 weeks to do this other thing" kind of task.

So I guess my real questions here are:

1. Should we split "Determine whether you're ready to progress" into a separate ticket in the last sprint of each module (while leaving the "look forwards" ticket basically as-is but removing the template from "How to submit")?
2. When a trainee gets to the end of a module, should they be trying to decide for themselves whether they're ready to progress, trying to decide in a group whether they're ready to progress, or trying to decide with a whole cohort whether they're ready to progress? If the answer is no, what should they do about it?

Do we feel this task is completed given the success criteria is done? #1020 #1021 etc

[illicitonion]

I think from those PRs we now have good criteria, but I'm still not sure on the assessment of this.

Are we relying entirely on individual self-assessment? And if so, is that the case up to and including completion of the course?

I think the concept is they submit those links on the dashboard and a volunteer checks in the same way as ITD. @moneyinthesky is this right?

Syllabus team think this is done. Closing.
