Annotated Introduction Example
This is one complete introduction entry with a callout under each part naming the formatting it demonstrates. Compare it against the instructions and the plain samples.
The centered row of links at the end of each entry - CLT Web, GitHub.io, GitHub, freeCodeCamp, Codecademy, LinkedIn - belongs to the web-development courses only: ITIS3135, WEB115, WEB215 and WEB250. In any other course, the entry ends with the quote and dividing horizontal line.
CLT Web does not apply to CPCC students. If you're in WEB115, WEB215, or WEB250, skip that one link and include the other five.
Start with a horizontal line (insert -> horizontal line in google docs) and a blank line (carriage return) just before your name as a heading 2.
