+# Exercise 1:
+
+## Due Date: Friday June 4, 11:59 PM
+
+## Objectives: To get familiar with our git workflow for distribution and submission of course materials. Also gain basic familiarity with markdown syntax.
+
+## Specifications/Requirements
+
+1. Description:
+   To complete this exercise you will need to create a new file, named `Response.md`, inside of the exercie1 directory. You will be using markdown syntax to create a markdown file that has at least 2 different headings, 1 unordered list and one code snippet. As a resource for how to write markdown syntax, here is a link to a great [markdown cheat-sheet](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/)
+
+2. Requirements:  
+    *   One header section should include your name and the name of the class  
+    *   The other header section should contain the date of your submission  
+    *   The unordered list should contain a list of your favorite authors and have a minimum number of 4 authors  
+    *   The block quote should be a portion of your favorite quote from one of the authors you include in the list  
+
+    Feel free to add anything beyond the specific requirements and I encourage you to experiment and play around with markdown syntax.  
+
+3.  Submission:  
+    To submit your code you need to commit your new file to your repository and push your changes to your `origin` by running the following command: `git push origin master`.  
+    __NOTE:__ Please verify that you see your code up on the university gitlab server after you have pushed your changes.
