Hello and Welcome to MAT1275 LC15!

Please take some time to explore this OpenLab course site. Use the menu to explore the course information, activities, and help.

City Tech email

The college administrators and professors will be using your City Tech email to converse with you. Go to this site for all things City Tech email related. You can find your email name, reset your password, and log in from here.

Join this Course

If you’re new to the OpenLab, follow these instructions to create an account and then join the course. You must use your City Tech email to join and verify your account on OpenLab.

Joining OpenLab and becoming a member of this course are 2 different things! Think of it as creating a login for Instagram (ie. joining OpenLab) and then choosing to Follow someone (ie. becoming a member of MAT1275 LC15).

Click here, and then click on the “+” next to “Join Now” underneath Foghorn Leghorn. FYI, this is a stock image. The image for our class could be different.

Remember that your username and display name can be pseudonyms, rather than your real name. Your avatar does not need to be a picture of your face–just something that identifies you on the OpenLab.

WeBWorK Homework System

This semester we will be using WeBWorK for homework. If you have used WeBWorK in the past, then you will be used to the platform to input your homework answers.

The website for WeBWorK can be found here. A login and password will be emailed to you using the email that is found on your CUNYfirst profile. This is why the steps above are so important! Please click on the link and make sure you are able to log in.

Activate your CUNYFirst Account

If your CUNYFirst account is not activated, go here and click “Claim your CUNYFirst account.” CUNYFirst gives you access to Blackboard and Dropbox, both of which will be used for this class, and probably your other classes as well. Once your CUNYFirst account is set up, you can log in to Blackboard and Dropbox. You will also be able to see which email you have on your CUNYFirst file, which you should change if it is not updated.

Questions

If you have any questions, reach out via email or in Office Hours. If you need help with the OpenLab, you can consult OpenLab Help or contact the OpenLab Community Team.

OpenLab Assignment #1: Upload a 3-page PDF File to Dropbox

Practice uploading a PDF document to Dropbox. This assignment is due Wednesday, September 6, 2023.

  • First page: Answer these questions on a piece of paper. Handwrite your answers. You’ll see why later.
  • Second page: A doodle! I miss seeing all of the drawings my students put on their quizzes! This drawing can be as detailed or as simple as you like, just make sure it’s lighthearted and fun!
  • Third page: Include a photo of yourself. It can be a selfie, a scan of another photo, or an attached photo from your phone (this can be done in the Dropbox app). Just make sure the photo is of you only. Go here on your phone to take an awesome photo: www.whatsmycallsign.com.
  • Scan a 3-page PDF, (follow these instructions. Your assignment won’t be accepted if it is not uploaded correctly), rename the file using this scheme:
    • lastname firstinitial date assignment.pdf
    • Use 2 digits for the month and day. August 27 is 08-27 and September 8 is 09-08.
    • Example: If Darth Vader submits his file on March 5 he will name it VaderD03-05drawing.pdf
    • Upload the file to our shared Dropbox folder. Do NOT email me asking if I received the file. Instead, use the comment feature in Dropbox to ask, and I will reply if I received it. Assume I do not see the file if I do not reply.
    • Instructions on using Dropbox can be found here, or here.
    • This assignment is due Wednesday, September 6, at the start of class.
    • Name your file lastnamefirstinitial0906assignment01.pdf
