Week 3 QA content

[tomasvanrijsse]

I ran this QA with two exercises

1. Do normalization together
2. Build a small API using MongoDB

I see no harm in keeping mongodb/create-employees.js
This file has a minimalistic example of how mongodb client can be used via JS.

I like the idea of giving students the boilerplate for TODO-server backend! Great addition 👍

Normalization exercises need some revision because I don't understand the rationale behind it. Perhaps if I know your vision, then I can come to appreciate it better. Let me know if you want to talk about it.

I suppose students are supposed to fill some working code here.

I could have put in some more explanation I see 😄

I used the Normalization exercise content live, so I share my screen and show them the files.
These two files are like my slides 😋 but I didn't know how to store my slides in git properly.
The readme.md is my first slide, and it's purpose is to appeal to their sense of "are we ever going to need this?".
Then in the second file is to demonstrate that the subject is useful eventhough it feels unnatural.

I think adding explanations for all steps makes sense because if another mentor picks up the module to teach then (s)he would want to conduct the same demonstrations as you did. And I think they are quite helpful.

It would be nice if you have answer some other questions and resolve those conversations on this PR

I removed the normalization exercise and squashed some commits from the MongoDB express server backend.
