# 1 - Terminal and Visual Code

During the first class of MigraCode we begin with a presentation which usually lasts more than an hour. After the presentation we take a 20 mins break to allow students freshen up before they jump into the course.

**Points to remember:**

1. Our students are either refugees or migrants with no previous technical background (except a few).
2. There are always some exceptional students who want to go a step ahead of everyone else and learn more advanced commands.
3. There are two optional sections for these students **Advanced Terminal -1** and **Advanced Terminal -2.**
4. There will always be **at least one supporting instructor** present in the class.
5. You can divide students in two groups according to their level of knowledge and go through optional material with students who want more challenging exercises.
6. It is very important to take **short breaks** after each hour of class (usually **10 mins**)
7. There will be **no homework** for the first week except that they need to review inClass material.
