Welcome to your MAT 1275 OpenLab site! All course information is posted here. Please take a look around.

Homework #0:

Your first assignment is to add yourself to our OpenLab course and to submit a post introducing yourself to the class. Your post is due by 10 am on Tuesday, February 5.

  1. Sign up for an OpenLab account using your CityTech email address.
  2. After you’ve logged in, add yourself to our MAT 1275 class.
  3. 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.
  4. Title your post “Introducing [your first name] [your last name].” (You may use just initials if you like, as long as there’s enough information for me to locate you on my official roster.)
  5. From the categories on the right-hand side of the screen, make sure to select “Introduce yourself” so that the rest of us can locate your post later.
  6. Tell us anything you’d like us to know about you! Some suggestions are…
    • Your major
    • How you became interested in your major
    • Which math classes you’ll take after MAT 1275 (if you don’t 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, whatever…
    • What you hope to get out of this course (I don’t mean which grade you want!)
    • Other interests/hobbies you have
    • What your favorite animal is
  7. Read and comment on at least one your classmates’ posts. (Note: the administrator will have to approve your comments, so don’t worry if they don’t appear right away.)
