Add yourself to our OpenLab course
You may be added automatically to our OpenLab course, but if you are not, follow these directions:
- If you haven’t already, sign up for an OpenLab account using your CityTech email address.
- After youâve logged in, add yourself to our MAT 1275 course by clicking “join group.” (This is the course profile page; we won’t be using it again for the rest of the semester. Instead we’ll be using the course site.)
Submit a post introducing yourself
- From the class OpenLab site you can create a new post by clicking the symbol that looks like a + sign inside a circle at the top of the screen.
- You must be a member of the course in order to see the + sign at the top of the screen. If you don’t see it, head back to the course profile to add yourself to the group.
- Title your post âIntroducing [your first name] [your last name].â (You may use just initials if you like, as long as thereâs enough information for me to locate you on my official roster.)
- From the categories on the right-hand side of the screen, make sure to select âIntroduce yourselfâ so that the rest of us can locate your post later.
- Tell us anything youâd like us to know about you! Write one paragraph with at least five sentences. Some suggestions areâŚ
- Your pronouns (examples: she/her/hers or he/him/his or they/them/theirs
- Your major and how you became interested in your major
- Which math classes youâll take after MAT 2680 (if you donât know, you can check your program requirements in the college catalog here)
- What you hope to do after you graduate from CityTech; short-term goals, long-term goals, whateverâŚOther interests/hobbies you have

- Something youâre bad at (youâre not allowed to say math!)

- Which math classes youâll take after MAT 1575 (if you donât know, you can check your program requirements in the college catalog here)
- Only if you feel comfortable sharing, you may also let us know how the pandemic has affected you. What aspects of it have been difficult? What aspects of it have been surprising? Have you learned anything new? Has anything good happened that might not have otherwise? Do not share anything personal if you don’t want to.
- You may include pictures if you like!
- Remember that this post will be available publicly on the internet. Don’t include any private information or anything you’re not comfortable with sharing publicly. (Don’t include your phone number or any answers to security questions!)
- Read and comment on at least one your classmatesâ posts. (Note: the administrator may have to approve your comments, so donât worry if your comments donât appear right away.)
- If you have anything private that youâd like to share with me but not with the whole class (for example, if you are to receive a testing accommodation through Student Support Services), please include this information when you complete the first-day survey.
