Challenges

  1. Location: Finding computer labs to accommodate a larger intake of IBT participants is a challenge, because the duration of the IBT overlaps with parts of the academic semester in most of the relevant faculties, and hence they can't offer their labs for the entire 3 month duration.
  2. Timing: Some of the course participants are full time MSc students, and some of the IBT sessions collided with the timing of their exams (~25 participant). The flexibility and sensitivity of the core IBT in giving them some grace period helped these participants make up for any missed IBT activity.
