I would like contribute to the new FAIR Data lesson as part of the checkout process:

https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-fair-research/01-introduction/index.html

I've read the whole lesson and I believe it is very well done already.

My suggestion: In the penultimate section of the Introduction "How does "FAIR" translate to your institution or workplace?" the first question goes: "Does your institutional data management policy refer to FAIR principles?"

· There are many research institutions and libraries that do not yet have a data management policy and/or might not be planning to get one in the near future so this question could alienate some participants. It would be better to change the wording to something along the lines of: "If your institution has a data management policy, does it refer to the FAIR principles?" OR "Does your institution have a data management policy that refers to the FAIR principles?"
