I will create a positive and supportive environment where you will feel safe to experiment, code, and develop.
I will recognize the privileges and blindspots we bring to our course and strive to grow, while acknowledging that being human – not perfect – is our goal.
I understand that you are busy and that you have many competing priorities. When needed, I will be flexible to support your successful completion of this course.
