Coursework content

If you are here, it means you want a job in tech. But coding is not the only skill you must have to get a job. Professional skills are as important.

But what is the primary goal of people that work in tech? We build Digital Products. And they are built with various roles, such as Sofware Developers, UX Designers, Testers, Product Owners/ Managers, and Scrum Masters.

Research the professional skills needed for every role mentioned above and write three sentences describing these skills and why they are important.

For example: Software Engineers must be able to work collaboratively with all team members, so conflicts can be reduced.

4. Choose 2 people's research that has yet to be read. When you start reading it, add the 👀 emoji to their thread so everyone knows you are reading it. (2 min)
5. Read their content and add at least 1 comment on each Google doc. (20 min)
6. When you have read someone’s research, react with an appropriate emoji to their post on Slack so they know you’ve done it. (2 min)

Thanks for doing this. It is a good text, but please review my comments below about Grammar check.

However, we asked for three phrases for each role, and you did a lot more than that. Or it could feel more than that since you used bullet points. As a developer, you'll need to understand what you're asking for and stick to it. So make sure you read the assignments; ask about them if they need to be clarified.

AI Checker: 25% possibly written by aI Grammar check still highlights many things that could be improved with commas, American spelling, and incorrect verbs, so please use it more thoroughly for better content.

@AbdihamidAli @kfklein15

The explanation of software testing is copied almost verbatim from the summary of https://www.ibm.com/topics/software-testing

It can also be found in other places on the web.

It’s great to use sources, but if you copy text, you need to make it clear that it is a quote, and cite your sources. Please do not present the work of others as your own.

Excellent point, @kroker42 .

Can you please close this ticket and move it to done, @AbdihamidAli , so it doesn't show as pending for the reviewers? Thank you
