Assignments:

  1. Look up the personal websites (NOT university faculty page!) of at least five different astronomers. Explore them in detail. Write an entry in your notebook describing what you like and what you don't like. Remember, a website is often times many people's first impression of you, what do you want them to know? Remember to consider content as well as aesthetics. Use this in planning a design for your personal website.

  2. Review these astromers' CVs which are always posted somewhere on their websites. Record trends in your notebook. What aspects of their CVs do you want to emulate? Do they have sections of their CV that we did not cover or bring up?

  3. Read this article on building a website: https://researcheracademy.elsevier.com/uploads/2017-11/ECR_Building_personal_website_210912.pdf

  4. Create a website using the platform of your choice. You may use a template or create a site from scratch.

  5. Create an account on overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com/) and make a draft of a CV. See the "CV Guidelines" for more information.

  6. Check your work from last week against the tutorial answer key (posted in week 4 folder)
