Now that our course is beginning, let’s take some time to get to know each other. Please write a blog post introducing yourself. Let us know what your interests are–academic, extracurricular, professional–and what makes you interesting. This post should be between 200 and 300 words (approximately one typed page). You might consider it a draft of the bio you add to your OpenLab profile or your ePortfolio, so it can do double or triple duty.
A few guidelines:
- You need to have an OpenLab account and have joined our Openlab Course to complete this assignment. Please follow my instructions in my welcome post to create an account and to join our course.
- On the OpenLab, you are known only by your display name. That means that you do not need to identify yourself by your proper name. Please do not include your name if you do not feel comfortable doing so.
- Similarly, you may include a photograph of yourself if you want, but it is not required. Consider your privacy and do what makes you comfortable.
- Follow the Blogging guidelines for the course
- To get credit for writing this introduction (your first homework assignment and also attendance for the first day of class), be sure to choose the category Introductions on the right-hand side of the screen when you write your post.
- Choose an interesting title that interests your readers in what you have written.
- If you have any questions, feel free to comment on my post and I’ll respond to you that way (even if you don’t have an OpenLab account yet, you can still add a comment below).
I’ll write again soon with instructions for our first reading and response assignment.
