In what ways have you examined your implicit biases before coming to Turing?
A: I like to spend time reflecting on why I like/dislike certain people. Despite my diverse upbringing (growing up in Brooklyn, NY), there are certain prejudices and even internalized racism that was around and has been taught to me.

Purpose
You will be a contributor in several paired/group project throughout your Turing career working on complex technical challenges. You may be surprised to find out that < 1% of failing projects at Turing are due solely to technical definicines - in fact, the majority of failing projects are due to intrapersonal/team issues. In order to set yourself (and your teammates) up for success, it is critical to clearly communicate and set expectations with your teammates.
Answer these Check for Understanding questions as you work through the assignments.
