# How to Talk about Turing

You all have spent 9 months on this Turing journey, so *anything* you want to share about **your own experience** is great! But, you might get some questions about Turing more generally - here are some key points that you can reference:

* Turing School is an accredited, non-profit, fully-remote computer programming school, focused solely on helping students develop the technical and professional skills need for a fulfilling career in technology.
* All of Turing's programs are assessment-based; students continually prove their understanding through assessments.
* Though not *always* on offer, [Launch](https://turing.edu/launch) is a program that teaches Web Development in C#/.NET with a focus on backend development.
* Our [curriculum](https://launch.turing.edu/) is open source and can be shared with anyone!
* Launch students work on a combination of individual and group projects throughout the program.
* The curriculum and projects are designed for career-starters to give a broad understanding of web-development.
* Launch is centered on Professional Development, students learn and practice topics including: Identifying Unproductive Struggle, Asking Good Questions, and Giving/Receiving Feedback.
* Students are expected to practice real-world developer skills like working on a team, and jumping into a new code-base.

Because 'Launch' is not a specific name for the skills you have learned, we recommend that you include your experience at Turing with more industry-standard wording. For example:

```
School: Turing School
Program: Backend Development in C#/.Net
Grad Date: Jan 2024
