(This is optional extra credit that we’ll just tack onto your cumulative
score for the other assignments; this assignment is worth 1/2 of an
assignment)

Write about 500 words as a reaction to one or more of the talks by Zach
Gillen (Kaiser), Ryan Greenberg (Twitter), Thejo Kote (Automatic), Bryan
Rea (Google), or Igor Pesenson (Salesforce). Analyze how their talk
applies to one or more of the 202 lectures this semester and demonstrate
with your cogent use of 202 concepts and your knowledge of the course
readings that you’ve benefited from coming to class.

(This is due before you take your final exam next week, because I want
that exam to be the end of the semester for you. Send your assignment
to me as an email attachment).

(I don’t expect most of you to do this. Numerically this isn’t very
significant with respect to your final grade, and you need to get your
Assignment 10 case study written, and you need to study for the final
exam. But I’m offering this optional assignment as another chance to
think about what you learned in 202, and perhaps those of who didn’t
show me what you knew on the midterm can use this to demonstrate a
little bit more that you get 202…)
