one wonders if this is a real instructor trying to use this forum to create curricula that he cannot create himself
if that is true then he is not prepared to be an instructor. An instructor must be an expert in the field they teach, and they must be able to categories knowledge and teach it.
in any case you have already defined the 4 sections of the course
codebases
communities
patterns
software
do you know the anthropoligical content of each of these areas?
