How do you communicate best? What is your preferred way to support me while I go through Turing?

  • examples: Pairing (in-person / Screenhero), Slack Chats, Github Code Reviews, FaceTime/Hangouts

What do you need (resources, environment, communication) to feel prepared for our meetings?

  • examples[communication]: 24-48 hour advanced notice, slack ping right before meeting
  • examples[resources]: links to any applicable lessons/code beforehand, summary of the project at beginning, agenda for pairing session
  • examples[environment]: not a coffeeshop, turing

What scheduling restraints do you have? What are your scheduling preferences

  • example [preferences]: google cal, youcanbook.me, slack message, sunrise

What do you identify as being your biggest strength(s) technically as they relate to the curriculum at Turing? What are some of your technical interests that we may not focus on at Turing? What are you non-technical interests / areas of expertise?
