Welcome to your MAT 1575 OpenLab site! All course information is posted here. Please take a look around.

OpenLab Homework #1

Your first assignment is to add yourself to our OpenLab course and to submit a post according to the instructions below. Your post is due by 8 am on Monday, February 3. Your post will count toward your participation grade.

1. Sign up for an OpenLab account using your CityTech email address.
2. After you’ve logged in, add yourself to our MAT 1575 class.

Submit your post:

1. 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.
2. 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.)
3. 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.
4. Tell us anything you’d like us to know about you! Write one paragraph with at least five sentences. Some suggestions are…
   • Your pronouns (examples: she/her/hers or he/him/his or they/them/theirs)
   • Your major
   • How you became interested in your major
   • Which math classes you’ll take after MAT 1575 (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…
   • Other interests/hobbies you have
   • Something you’re good at
   • Something you’re proud of
   • A time when you overcame something difficult
   • Your favorite book
   • Your favorite animal
5. 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.)
6. If you have anything private that you’d 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 email me directly.
