By designing a healthy learning schedule, Janelle’s on her way to leading a successful computer science career

Meet Janelle! She always wanted to work in the computer science field, but didn’t know how to get started. Once she discovered Coursera, Janelle explored a variety of IT courses and projects—going on to earn two certificates. Reflecting on her journey, Janelle shared with us how putting together a learning routine, prioritizing her mental health, and taking learning day-by-day have all helped her work toward a career in computer science.

Hi, my name is Janelle. I first learned about Coursera through my Code (Cayman) community and was excited to take courses to learn more about computer science. My goal is to either work remotely for a tech company in the United States, or become an IT support specialist in the Cayman Islands, so I decided to explore all the courses I could where I’d gain the experience needed for those roles.

Since I work full-time, it was important that I could have flexibility in when and where I’d learn. The great thing about online learning is that I can start and stop my learning at any time based on my personal schedule, without having to attend class at a certain time as you might with on-campus learning. This also allowed me to design my own study schedule and create a routine that worked well for what I needed.

As someone who’s diagnosed with chronic depression, there are some days when I’m productive, and other days I don’t have the energy to focus on my studies. With online learning, it’s helpful that I can study at my own pace—whenever it’s best for me. The way that Coursera is set up gives me an advantage in getting my assignments done whether or not I’m experiencing an episode.

To prepare for careers in tech, I chose courses like digital marketing and IT  where I could work on tangible projects and learn industry tools. In the Google IT Support Professional Certificate program, I learned skills to assist customers with end-to-end support, ranging from identifying problems to troubleshooting and debugging. Then, in the Northwestern Social Media Marketing Specialization, I learned how to properly market my brand through social media channels. I also enjoyed taking courses in different areas, too, like social sciences and business. I really just wanted to learn as much as possible—especially during the pandemic.

If I could give any advice to my fellow Coursera learners, it would be this:

  • Set goals for yourself
  • Develop a schedule
  • Create a study space
  • Research and revisit former course material
  • Make time for your mental health
  • And lastly, do your best—you can do it!

Without discovering Coursera, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to learn for free, get practice using tools and technology in my career field, and work in interactive environments. With the help of both my Code (Cayman) community and Coursera, I know I’ll be able to achieve the goals I set for myself. Know that you can, too.

Show Yourself Some Love This Valentines Day

It’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day. The season of love is upon us, in all its chocolatey, heart-covered glory.

When everyone is coupling up, there is one kind of love that gets overlooked: self-love. You know what I’m talking about. All too often, we focus on others and everything around us, and neglect looking after ourselves.

Let’s be honest, the last few years have been a little rough, and what better way to spread the love than to treat yourself with a little self-care? I’m not talking about candy, roses, and an overly priced teddy bear.

This year, in addition to getting romantic with that special person, take some time and let Alison help you give yourself the pampering you deserve with these courses.

Developing Healthy Habits.

First things first, most of us don’t really know what self-care involves. We’ve heard of it, thought it was a great idea, and promptly forgotten about it as soon as something else pops up.

Thankfully, we have you covered with a course on how to put a self-care list together. Take the time to reset and rejuvenate not just for yourself but for those around us. Remember, if you aren’t taking care of yourself, taking care of others can be impossible.

Speaking of stress, be it work, family, or personal, managing stress in a practical way is next on our list of self-love and self-care. Taking consistent measures can greatly improve your overall wellness, and have you making the most of every day in a calm, collected way.

To supplement the calm you have achieved, let’s try a little meditation too. Mindful meditation will help you be present in the moment, listen and react positively to problems, and improve relationships with those around you. Take a look at this video for a quick demonstration. 

A healthy mind deserves a healthy body to go with it. Fitness can serve two purposes: releasing tension and what’s better than looking in the mirror and seeing positive physical changes? Self-appreciation at its finest. Look at how to structure a workout plan to make the most out of and develop core strength and flexibility with yoga.

Remember earlier when I mentioned chocolate and candy? Edible happiness, right? Turns out, there are other things to shove in your mouth that are tasty, and a whole lot better for you.

We all know that our bodies and minds need fuel in the form of food, but there is a difference between the types of fuel we should be using regularly and those we should limit (most of the time anyway).

Here’s a healthy living course to make sure you are firing on all cylinders.

Give Yourself A Gift. 

Via Giphy

Now that you have all you need for a healthy, mindful, and stress-free life, it’s a great time to learn something new. For example, learning how to draw. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re the next Michelangelo or specialize in stickmen; a new hobby is always a great way to step back and appreciate all you’ve accomplished on your self-care journey.

Have a look at the Alison wellbeing test and see how you can care for your mental and physical wellness and get started being the best version of yourself this Valentine’s Day.

Weekly Accessible Learning Activities: ‘Kid Reporter,’ TikTok-Famous Bodega, Intriguing Phone Box

Each Wednesday we shine a spotlight on five student activities that support a broad range of learners. In this week’s roundup of accessible activities, we invite students to meet an 11-year-old reporter, think about what book they would want to write, visit a TikTok-famous bodega, look closely at an intriguing photograph and write a short story.

Note: To learn more about this new weekly feature, read our introductory post. Please share your thoughts in the comments section or by emailing us at LNFeedback@nytimes.com.

1. Read about a young reporter.

In this Lesson of the Day, students learn about Jazlyn Guerra (known to her fans as Jazzy), a self-styled “kid reporter” who has scored interviews with celebrities including Alicia Keys, Tom Holland and Jay-Z. Then students come up with questions for their own dream celebrity interview.

2. Consider: If you were to write a book, what would it be about?

Dillon Helbig, a second grader in Boise, Idaho, created a rich tale about Christmas and time travel. It’s in high demand at a local library and has inspired other young authors. For this Student Opinion question, students think about what they would want to write a book about.

3. Watch a short film about a TikTok-famous bodega.

This 13-minute video in our Film Club profiles Rahim Mohamed, a TikTok star with more than two million followers who manages a bodega in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Watch him come up with wild sandwich combinations for his never-ending stream of customers, and reflect on the local businesses that make your town special.

4. Make observations about a photograph.

What’s Going On in This Picture invites students to look closely at a photograph published in The Times, and try to figure out what is happening in the image. Students can read what other students have noticed in the image, as well as moderator responses, in the comments section.

5. Tell a story.

Use your imagination to write the opening of a short story or poem inspired by the photo in this Picture Prompt — or, tell us about a memory from your own life that this image makes you think of.

4 Tips For Searching For A Job When You Already Have One

4 Tips For Searching For A Job When You Already Have One
Searching for job while already employed

Looking for jobs when you’re already employed can feel awkward, like you’re cheating on your current employer. There are the logistical issues that come with scheduling interviews during your work day (how many “doctor’s appointments” can you really get away with?), as well as the guilt you might feel about sneaking around.

The thing is, applying for jobs is a natural part of your professional work experience. In fact, potential employers take it as a good sign when a candidate is already employed, says Danny Roberts, Senior Technical Recruiter at Codecademy. “Recruiters are looking for people who don’t have huge gaps in employment, who are fresh in their current role, and who are ready for a leap,” he says.

That said, it can still feel kind of shady. Here’s how to make time to look for jobs when you already have a job, and ways to be discreet and respectful about it.

Clear your schedule for interviews

Fitting a job interview into your already hectic work schedule is tough, but it’s worth it to allot ample time for the call or meeting.

If your interview is on the phone or over Zoom, find a quiet space where you know you’ll have privacy to speak freely. Sometimes, you have to get creative: “I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had with people in hallways, stairways, cars in parking lots, or conference rooms  — all kinds of crazy places trying to be quiet and private,” Danny says. And if your interview is IRL, make sure you’re factoring travel time into your schedule.  

Consider scheduling the call before or after work hours or during a lunch break if you can. Sometimes you need to resort to a white lie and block off your calendar for an “appointment” to take an interview uninterrupted.

Avoid doing interviews when you’re preoccupied with another task, like commuting, Danny says. “If you’re not present, and you’re not being your full self, it feels very dismissive to the person you’re talking to,” he says.

A common mistake that people make when they’re applying for jobs is thinking that the wider you cast your net, the sooner you’ll catch something, Danny says. In truth, “you end up watering down your process and burning yourself out,” he says.

Instead, be selective about the jobs you’re applying to. If you’re just flinging your resume anywhere it lands, “you end up wasting a lot of people’s time, including your own,” Danny says. Not to mention, you end up burning yourself out trying to stay on top of everything you have to do at your current job.

Spread out your references

You’ll probably have to provide references at some point in the job-search process. If you’re currently in a role, the good news is you’re not expected to get a referral from a coworker or boss at your current company, Danny says.

Typically, people choose references from a job that they had prior. If this is your first job, you could ask a teacher, mentor, coach, or club member who knows you well enough to speak to your work ethic. “Try to scatter [your references] to give a sampling of people from different stages of your career, as well as different stakeholders you’ve worked with,” Danny says. References generally understand that they should keep the details about your job search private, so don’t stress about them spilling the news.

Manage your time

Job-searching can be so involved and intensive that it can feel like having another full-time job. In addition to phone, Zoom, and in-person interviews, you might have homework, multi-stage projects, and presentations to prepare on top of balancing your current day-to-day responsibilities.

Working on a job application or take-home project for a new job while you’re technically on the clock is generally considered bad form. Instead of waiting until the end of the day to sit down and start applications, think about when you’ll feel the most productive. First thing in the morning? At 9 p.m.? Sunday after you’ve slept in? “Think about the time you’re setting aside for each one, so that you can really shine and be at your best,” Danny says. If you have paid time off, you might want to devote a day to prepare for interviews or work on application assignments.

For the most part, recruiters and hiring managers are understanding about the amount of time and effort that goes into job-searching. Be realistic about your workload and don’t be afraid to ask for some flexibility, like more time to complete a project or a later interview date than they suggest. You can frame it like this: “I want to make sure I devote the appropriate time and attention that this assignment deserves, while also meeting the expectations in my current role.” That way, it’s clear that you’re enthusiastic about the opportunity, but still taking your position seriously.

The Misleading Math of Prenatal Tests

The Misleading Math of Prenatal Tests

1. Discuss the regulation of prenatal tests.

Read the following section from the article, which quotes Alberto Gutierrez, the former director of the F.D.A. office that oversees many medical tests:

“These numbers are meaningless,” said Mr. Gutierrez, the former F.D.A. official, after reviewing an advertisement for the Quest Diagnostics QNatal Advanced Test.

The test is advertised as getting positive microdeletion results right 75 percent of the time. But that figure comes from a single study that included nine confirmed cases of microdeletions, for a test that screens for seven such disorders. The company doesn’t specify how the tests perform individually, and declined to provide that data. (In a statement, Quest said its test has “excellent performance.”)

The F.D.A. considered regulating these tests a decade ago, but backed away. If the agency had oversight, Mr. Gutierrez said, Quest would be required to publish a brochure, but “it would not look like this.”

Nonetheless, companies are charging ahead, viewing microdeletions as a major business opportunity — especially if they can persuade more doctors to order them and more insurers to cover them.

Discuss as a class: Should the F.D.A. regulate these tests and their marketing materials? If so, what guidance and rules should the agency provide? If not, why not?

2. False positives and criminal justice.

Law can be framed in terms of positive and negative test results. In the courts, you are innocent (negative — no guilt detected) until proven guilty (positive — guilt was detected). False positives (convicting an innocent defendant) are often seen as worse than false negatives (failing to convict a true criminal). Discuss as a class:

  • Why do you think the U.S. court system assumes “innocent until proven guilty,” rather than “guilty until proven innocent?”

  • How do you think the assumption of innocence affects the reliability of court decisions? Does it raise or lower the probability of a false positive (convicting someone who’s actually innocent)?

  • Sometimes, courts accept evidence based on controversial software that can make errors in identifying criminals. Discuss this episode of “The Daily” about a facial recognition program’s false positive in the Michigan court system. Should this type of software be allowed as evidence in the courts? If so, what false positive rate would be acceptable?

3. Test accuracy and Covid-19. Analyze the benefits and detriments of quicker but slightly-less-accurate rapid Covid tests by reading this article. Discuss as a class:

  • Rapid tests return results very quickly and can be deployed to test many more people in the population (especially in the event of an outbreak). However, they may produce a higher false negative rate (failing to detect real Covid infections) than slower tests. Is the speed of rapid tests worth the higher rate of false negatives? Why or why not?

Answer Key: Here is a link to this lesson plan with all of the answers included.

¹ Technical Note for Technical Folks: We can calculate P(Positive Test) using the law of total probability:

P(Positive Test) = P(Positive Test | Has Disorder) P(Has Disorder) + P(Positive Test | No Disorder) P(No Disorder)

P(Positive Test) = 0.999(0.00025) + 0.001(0.99975)

P(Positive Test) = 0.0012495

How did we find P(Positive Test | No Disorder)? In the lesson, we stated that Test A had 99.9% reliability. We defined this as meaning that P(Positive Test | Has Disorder) = 0.999 and P(Negative Test | No Disorder) = 0.999. So, we can use the following:

P(Positive Test | No Disorder) = 1 – P(Negative Test | No Disorder) = 1 – 0.999 = 0.001

Does the N.F.L. Have a Race Problem?

Does the N.F.L. Have a Race Problem?

Do you think the N.F.L. has a race problem? And if so, what do you think can be done to bring greater racial equity to its ranks of coaches, executives and owners?

Brian Flores, who was fired as coach of the Miami Dolphins last month and was rejected for new jobs with other clubs, has sued the N.F.L. and its 32 teams alleging that they have discriminated against him and other Black coaches in their hiring practices.

His filing in federal court comes just days after the Giants, one of the teams he interviewed with for a position, named Brian Daboll, who is white, as their head coach.

Flores cited text messages he said were sent by his former boss, New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick. In the messages, Belichick appears to congratulate Flores for winning the Giants’ job, which he had yet to interview for at that point. Flores responded by asking if Belichick had intended the message for Daboll, who interviewed before Flores’s scheduled meeting.

The respondent answered: “I think they are naming Daboll. I’m sorry about that. BB”

A Giants spokesman, Pat Hanlon, said in a statement the team was “confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll” and that “Flores was in the conversation to be our head coach until the eleventh hour.” A Patriots spokesman said he did not anticipate that the team would be issuing a response.

The N.F.L. said it is “deeply committed to ensuring equitable employment practices” and “we will defend against these claims, which are without merit.”

The screenshots of a conversation purportedly initiated by Belichick, the notoriously tight-lipped coach, as well as other anecdotes that paint an unflattering portrait of Stephen Ross, the Dolphins’ owner, provide a rare insight into the league’s business in a class-action suit that contends there is widespread discrimination in the N.F.L.

Flores is the son of Honduran immigrants to the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. He led the Dolphins for three years, including two winning seasons, and in the suit said he was “humiliated in the process as the New York Giants subjected him to a sham interview in an attempt to appear to provide a Black candidate with a legitimate chance at obtaining the job.”

In a statement, Flores said that he understood that “I may be risking coaching the game that I love and that has done so much for my family and me. My sincere hope is that by standing up against systemic racism in the N.F.L., others will join me to ensure that positive change is made for generations to come.”

In his suit, Flores stated that there were more than 40 other coaches who could join the class action, though he did not name any of them. Still, the case faces high legal hurdles, most prominently because Flores needs to prove that race was specifically a factor in his being turned down for jobs, even as he continues to interview for open coaching positions.

Owners seem to have less patience with nonwhite N.F.L. coaches. In 2019, the sports website The Undefeated published results from a study that found that from 2009 to 2018 nonwhite head coaches averaged much shorter tenures than their white counterparts and were less likely to land a second head coaching position after getting fired. As Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr put it, they get “​​half the runway of their white counterparts, requiring gargantuan expectations to succeed in impossible scenarios.”

The league has been confronted with these criticisms for decades. In 2002 the famed attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr. released a damning report titled “Black Coaches in the National Football League: Superior Performance, Inferior Opportunities.” It showed that over 15 years, Black N.F.L. coaches averaged more wins than their white counterparts and yet had harder times getting hired and were more likely to get fired. Cochran then threatened to sue the N.F.L. if it did not change its hiring practices.

The N.F.L. did what any large corporation would do in response to news it didn’t particularly like: It created a committee to study the issue, offering the appearance of action to a public that was increasingly demanding it. Headed by Dan Rooney, then the owner and president of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the group released a set of recommendations, including the so-called Rooney Rule, which was adopted by the team owners: “Any club seeking to hire a head coach will interview one or more minority applicants for that position.”

And yet in the 19 years since the rule was adopted, we’ve gotten nowhere. There were three Black head coaches in 2003. Today, there are three minority head coaches, one of whom is Black.
