Part I - Create a Piazza Account

If you have not used Piazza before for any other classes, here is a short description. In order to facilitate an open discussion outside of the classroom, we will be using the online web forum Piazza. Piazza allows anyone to ask a follow up question and for anyone to contribute a response. Many times other students will have the same question that you have or they will have a problem you previously had. This forum is useful for receiving quick responses and multiple solutions.

When a new question appears, the instructors will allow time for student responses. You are encouraged to help your fellow students. The instructors will then mark an existing response as correct or provide the a hint in the right direction after a brief time as passed.

It is possible to post anonymous questions or send private messages to the instructor.

To create an account and register for the class site, use the following link: piazza.com/mines/spring2017/csci448.

Part II - Tell Us About Yourself

Once you have signed up for the class on Piazza, tell us a little about yourself by adding an introductory post. At a minimum, include the information below as well as anything else you feel is interesting for us all to know.

Year
Why you signed up for the course
An interesting fact or two about yourself

Part III - Email Two Selfies

In order to help me learn all of your names as quickly as possible, please send an email to Dr. Paone 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.
