Part II - Tell Us About Yourself

You should already have an account for the course on Piazza. If you do not, contact your instructor right away to get added. Once you do have access, please tell us a little about yourself by adding an introductory post to only YOUR SECTION. When creating a new post, you can choose to post to your Class Group instead of the Entire Class. Be sure to create this as a NOTE not a question. At a minimum, include the information below as well as anything else you feel is interesting for us all to know. You may find out someone has the same interests as you!
  • Name
  • Year
  • Why you signed up for the course
  • An interesting fact or two about yourself

Part III - Submit Two Selfies

In order to help us learn all of your names as quickly as possible, submit two PowerPoint slides to Canvas each with an image of yourself. The first should just be an image of your face. The second, please create a sign that has your name displayed and hold it up in view with your face. Be creative! Extra kudos for photos from the rock wall or pool.
