This homework will help you with some setup and preparation for the course.
TODO: Review the course syllabus.
- Based on the syllabus and first lecture, fill out this syllabus survey with any questions, confusions, or concerns you still have about the course this semester.
The primary mode of communication for the course this semester will be Slack. Communication is essential in software engineering and the majority of development teams use some form of IM or messaging system. Slack is one example of these types of platforms, and we will use Slack to provide course updates, answer questions, form project groups, and other course activities. You may download the free version of the Slack desktop application at https://slack.com/downloads/ or use it online from your preferred web browser. To sign up for the Slack workspace for this course, visit the invite link here. If you have problems or are unable to join via the link, contact the instructor.
TODO: Use the following guidelines to create your Slack profile to help the teaching staff and fellow classmates learn your name:
- Set your full name to be your first and last name. Your display name should be your first name (or name you prefer to go by).
- Upload a recent photo of yourself (professional headshot or one that meets passport photo guidelines) for your profile photo.
