function definitions have four main parts we'll look at the syntax of functions in the next slide but for now let's look at what these parts are the function has to have a name the name of the function follows the same rules we use for naming variables function name should be meaningful and provide the reader the intent of the function for example a function called func1 and another function called func two may be okay when teaching functions in my slides but what if I read some production code with function names like that I'd have no idea what these functions are doing based on those names functions perform operations so usually you see function names as verb or verb phrases this isn't always the case but it's a good habit to get into the second part of a function is the parameter list this is the list of variables that the function expects from you when you call it for example if you're calling a function that adds two integers then the two integers are in the parameter list sometimes functions don't need any parameters at all suppose I have a function that's some time to me these functions can be called with an empty parameter list all functions have the ability to return information to the caller of the function in order to return information we must specify the type of that information

“UChicago students have a real opportunity to share their knowledge and resources to have a positive impact on campus and in the local community as well.”

Monica Martinez, NSP Alum

When were you active in NSP?

1999-2002

What were your roles and responsibilities while working at NSP?

I worked as a tutor and teaching assistant in a first grade classroom at Andrew Carnegie Elementary School. I tutored students one-on-one and in small groups, assisted the classroom teacher in leading lessons, and provided overall classroom support during activities.

Tell us about a particularly memorable student or experience you had.

One student had a challenging family life, coming from a single-mother household. Oftentimes, he came to school hungry and sleepy. He was behind grade-level reading and needed additional hands-on support that my teacher couldn't offer in a classroom of 30 students. I'm honored and fortunate to have provided the individualized support he needed throughout the school year.

Why is it important for students to engage with their communities?

The University is a place of great privilege and abundant resources. It is easy to overlook, not only the diversity, but also the economic and social challenges that exist in the broader community. UChicago students have a real opportunity to share their knowledge and resources to have a positive impact on campus and in the local community as well.

What should the future of NSP look like?

NSP should continue forging partnerships with local schools. Given the state's current economic climate, schools are in need of additional support and resources now, more than ever, and NSP can fill this capacity gap. NSP can also serve as a bridge for students considering a career in urban education.

Where has your postgraduate path led you?

After more than a decade working in public service, I co-founded EduDream, an education consulting firm that focuses its efforts on advancing racial and economic equity.
