Instructor Notes

This tutorial builds on Setting Up Your Environment: learners are expected to already have a working eic-shell before the session.

Before the session


  • Ask learners to complete the Setup page in advance so that eic-shell is downloaded and working. Downloading the container can take a long time on systems without /cvmfs.
  • The modifying-geometry episode compiles a local clone of the epic repository. The first cmake --build can take a while; encourage learners to use -j and to start the clone/build early.

Timing


The lesson is roughly 45 minutes of teaching plus an hour of exercises. The compile step in the final episode and the optional npsim runs dominate the wall-clock time, so keep an eye on the container build finishing before moving on.
