Upload a photo and a bio (100 pts)

In this assignment we ask you to submit a recent photo and bio to share with our students. The idea is to help them get to know you better.

Content

Your bio and welcome message should be in the neighborhood of 300 to 400 words. Introduce yourself (name, major and year). Write your preferred name if its different from your first name. Include your pronouns (i.e. he/him/his, she/her/hers, they/them/theirs). Write about why you are excited about being a TA or tutor and what type of help you hope to offer students as part of the course. Mention other topics that you can offer advice on that contributes to student success in CS e.g. : research, student orgs, internships, projects, improving coding skills etc etc. Mention hobbies and interests outside academics!

Samples of bios in previous courses are below:

• CS16 W18
• CS8 W18

Image

Get a photo that shows your face clearly; the whole point is so that students can recognize you from your photo.

Convert your photo to a .png file with a maximum width of 320 pixels, and a maximum height of 400 pixels. You can use the convert command on CSIL to do this (the “from” image can be .png, .jpg, or pretty much any standard image format.)

convert -resize 320x400 conrad-big.jpg conrad.png
