Below is a recommended activity that helps build community in your class and introduces students to commenting as a form of class discussion. It’s entirely possible that your professor may use OpenLab, and this assignment might be the first thing you do this semester anyway. So take some time to answer these questions and open yourself up to the rest of your workshop cohort. Since our collective goal is to better understand integral calculus, it might be a good idea to open up to one another. I will respond to any submission.
Your first OpenLab Discussion assignment is to introduce yourself to your classmates. This assignment is optional.
Assignment. Add a comment in reply to this post introducing yourself to the class. Your comment should be at least 2 paragraphs in length. In the first paragraph, introduce yourself in whatever way you wish. You could include your academic interests, why you chose your major, what you enjoy reading, listening to, watching, and doing in your spare time, or anything else you want to share (include your pronouns, if you wish). In the second paragraph, choose ONE of the following two topics and write a response. Don’t forget to tell us which topic you chose.
Topics (choose ONE).
- Was math ever your favorite subject? If so, when was it? What about math made it your favorite? If math has never been your favorite subject, what about it do you not like?
- Sometimes people can recognize a time when their opinion of math dramatically changed either for the better or the worse. Tell us about it.
Extra Credit. Get to know your classmates! For extra credit, write a response to one of your classmates’ comments. Do you feel the same? Did you learn anything? Do you have any advice? Be kind.
