Analysis

Distribution Quality

✅ No category exceeds 30% - All categories are within acceptable bounds.

✅ Even distribution - The largest categories (STOR, RPI) are at 11.8%, well below the 30% threshold.

✅ Logical grouping - Concepts are organized into pedagogically meaningful categories.

Category Insights

Largest Categories (>10%):

  • Storage and Performance (STOR): 65 concepts (11.8%) - Includes compression, archives, file search, devices, and performance monitoring
  • Raspberry Pi (RPI): 65 concepts (11.8%) - Covers Pi hardware, GPIO, sensors, motors, and IoT/home automation
  • File System (FSYS): 60 concepts (10.9%) - Navigation, file operations, paths, and globbing

Medium Categories (5-10%):

  • Networking (NET): 50 concepts (9.1%) - Network commands, SSH, security, firewalls
  • Process Management (PROC): 40 concepts (7.3%) - Processes, scheduling, shell scripts
  • System Administration (ADMIN): 40 concepts (7.3%) - User management, services, display, audio
  • Shell Fundamentals (SHELL): 30 concepts (5.5%) - Terminal basics, command structure
  • Text Processing (TEXT): 30 concepts (5.5%) - grep, regex, sed, awk, pipes
  • Capstone Projects (CAP): 30 concepts (5.5%) - Final projects and career topics

Smaller Categories (<5%):

  • Permissions (PERM): 25 concepts (4.5%)
  • Cloud (CLOUD): 25 concepts (4.5%)
  • Development Tools (DEV): 25 concepts (4.5%)
  • History (HIST): 20 concepts (3.6%)
  • Configuration (CONF): 20 concepts (3.6%)
  • Package Management (PKG): 20 concepts (3.6%)
  • Text Editors (EDIT): 15 concepts (2.7%)

Recommendations

  1. Distribution is healthy - No rebalancing needed
  2. STOR and RPI are appropriate - These are core topics for the course
  3. Smaller categories are focused - EDIT (15) is appropriately sized for text editor coverage
