Option 1 - Blog Post

I believe in the value of good writing and sharing knowledge.

dev.to is a platform on which developers share knowledge, have discussions, and debate tons of development-related topics. There are also career topics and other related startup-related topics.

This option is to write a blog post on dev.to on a topic with which you have expertise.

You can write as many posts as you want, but can only obtain up to 2% among all bonus assignments.

Requirements

• Write a blog post on dev.to that is at least 800 words (~4 minute read)
• You must provide some useful information
  • It does not need to be a blog post worthy of the Alan Turing prize, but it must provide some insight into a topic that someone would find useful
  • Examples include a tutorial on a topic, a summarization of an experiment you did, thoughts on a topic, etc.
• It cannot be a discussion topic (you’re welcome to write one of those too, but I want to encourage technical writing)
• Must use decent grammar and writing (I highly recommend using the free version of Grammarly)
  • If your submission is determined to need grammar updates, I will give you a chance to update it
• Must be submitted before the start of exams which you can find on the university’s website

Submission

You are to publish your post on dev.to, submit it on the LearnSoftware application, and message me on Slack. Failing to message me on Slack before the due date will result in a 0% bonus.
