Stand-ups:

Mandatory to join the first 6 weeks of joining Turing College. Since stand-ups begin the second week, this means only 5 total stand-ups are required (One per week)

• If you miss a mandatory stand-up you will get prompted to write your reason within the learning platform. Reaching out to Turing College is not required

• During the mandatory 6-week period, you may attend multiple stand-ups per week; however, you are still required to participate in stand-ups during the remaining weeks to fulfill the attendance requirement

• Learn how to log your stand-up absence here

• Learners should join when the stand-up begins - If joining late you may be asked to leave to not disrupt the session and join the next available session

• Stand-ups are a time to share and discuss with STLs/JTLs, and most importantly your fellow learners about your learning journey

• Hosted on Zoom

• Check Platform Calendar for the next stand-ups

Example schedule of mandatory stand-ups:

Week 1: Intro Day with Turing College! No stand-up required. If you missed Intro Day, you will receive a link via Discord to a recording

Week 2 - 6: Join at least one stand-up during the week

Scenario: Joining two stand-ups during Week 3, does not exempt you from joining a stand-up during Week 4

Virtual Classroom:

• A virtual classroom is a flexible learning activity that allows you to study at your own pace while receiving real-time support from your peers and Turing College mentors. 

• You participate in a virtual classroom by joining specific voice channels on Discord that you join whenever you are studying. 

• You can either focus on your studies quietly or engage in discussions with others to get the help you need.

• Hosted on Discord 

• Schedule may vary depending on the program - read more here
