Part I - Get the Book


As mentioned in class, follow these steps to gain access to our e-book:
  • Go to http://zybooks.com
  • Create an account (use your mines.edu email address)
  • Enter zyBook code: MINESCSCI261PaoneFall2017
  • Enter your section/time
  • Pay with credit card ($48)
Once you have access, get started on sections 1.1-1.13 for Wednesday's class. The sections to be completed before class will always be listed on the schedule page.


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 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 - Email Two Selfies


In order to help us learn all of your names as quickly as possible, please send an email to your professor with two images 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. If you would prefer to not be sending pictures of yourself, then you can introduce yourself personally to your instructor. Please make the subject line of your email "CSCI 261 Selfies".
