Questions and interaction

• We will use Slack for chatting, taking notes, and sharing URLs and bits of code.

• We will use sticky notes to assess the completion of the exercises or for asking questions. Sticky notes will be also used to evaluate each chunk of the course. This is a good way for the teachers to improve and help the students.
