Asynchronous skills challenges


Preparing for Skills Session 1

  • Skills Session 1 is coming up the week of 2/5. The topic of this session is keyboard shortcuts. It’s a good idea to prepare for this session as soon as possible because the benefits of being fluent with keyboard shortcuts will be immediately useful, and it will take time to practice these shortcuts.
  • Start preparing for this session by visiting the Skills Session 1 page.


Setting up your personal website

Nothing to turn in for this section, but please do the following:

  • Follow this guide written by Professor Brianna Heggeseth to set up your personal website (your digital portfolio) using Quarto.
