Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi everyone! My name is Mark Benjamin, and I'm an alumnus from a nearby high school, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South. I came to Princeton intending to study physics, switched to computer science, but still actively pursue both.

Outside of classes my main activities are service related. I help run an after school tutoring program in Trenton. I also cofounded a program to allow Princeton students to help people at the Princeton Senior Center with their computers.

Besides that I love playing sports, video games, and just chilling with friends.

Everyone wants to be a good person, and we all have some elusive idea of what this means. In this short class we'll try to understand what traits good people have, as well as determining things you can do in your own life to become a better person. Disclaimer: Although I like to think I am a good person, I am not pretentious enough to make this a class about me. Instead, it's a chance to break down what other people think makes someone a good person.
