- What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
I feel that empathy plays a significant role in my interactions, interpersonally as well as internally. It does almost feel like a tricky topic for me to approach because it seems so inherent. Recognizing that it is a skill one can foster and develop, it feels more like something I wouldn't be able to shake if I tried, and would rather find the most holistically beneficial ways to understand and deal with these relative emotions. In my previous professional role designing and building custom fine art framing, I experienced the benefits of building trust and rapport with clients through empathetic design interactions. I've navigated consequences in my past which, tumultuous and difficult as they were for me, I know would likely have been worse for a person of color than for myself as a young, white female - besides that the rules broken were instituted with the intention of crippling these other communities in the first plac
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):
- We hope to collectively acheive a thorough understanding of every line of code written, and feel this will be a strong marker of the project's success.
- We look forward to gauging our growth together over the course of the project as a representation of the power in a growth mindset.
What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project? Understanding SASS, WebPack and the Fetch API and how to best integrate these new technologies. Wanting to learn new technologies and take a further step in our developing education.
What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?
Divide and conquer can work as long as the standards are clearly defined and working roles are agreed upon. Norms / best practices and conventions.
This gist contains a short assignment I'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson. The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.
