this will go through the process in great detail

@lwjohnst86 I have created the titles for three exercises for this session. I would like to know what you think about them before I flesh them out, so: what do you think? Some important aspects of the session that I've missed with these exercises? :) |

| ## Exercise: Create your first unit test |

Ideally, we would go through creating a unit test first, and then they do it again on their own time. So it could be something like "Write a unit test to check for ABC". The exact details don't matter too much, as long as there is a general structure or steps.

This first exercise could even be something like "Review these example unit tests and identify the individual parts within and find out if they work as intended or not". So it could be more of a code reading exercise.

This is a bit too generic. It ideally would be a clear, explicit aim. If the first exercise is a code reading exercise, this one could be to create another unit test to check for some condition. Or even include a first task to ask them to select which condition to test for and then test it.

As said above, we would ideally run this with them the first time. The exercise would be to do it on their own, after doing some changes or improving things.
