Your first assignment is to add yourself to our OpenLab course and to submit a post according to the instructions below. Your post will count toward your participation grade.
Add yourself to our OpenLab course
- 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 2680 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 and logged in to see the + sign at the top of the screen. If you donât 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 under “Post” make sure to select âIntroduce yourselfâ so that the rest of us can locate your post later.

Hello everyone, my name is Leslyn Hodgson. This is my fourth year in college. I am studying to be a Computer Engineer. I became interested in Computer Engineering because ever since I was small technology became fascinating and interesting to learn. I joined numerous of robotics classes and coding. As time went on, I taught myself various of programs such as Photoshop and 3Ds Max. Eventually, I realize what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. After I take MAT 2680, I will take MAT 2580. After, I graduate CityTech I am looking forward to getting a job as an IT. One day work for one of the biggest companies around the world which is Sony or Microsoft and become a CEO of my own company whereby I will sell my own laptop brands, desktops, keyboards etc. I am very good at drawing especially digital drawing. My hobbies are graphic designs and playing video games.
Hey Tamika, that sounds amazing. I fell in love with computers too. I’ve indulged in multiple program languages while fixing Iphones, MacBooks and more. As you aspiringly stated, I’d love to be a CEO and run my own technology company someday. I’ll see you at the top. “Best of work.” We don’t leave things up to luck!!!!
