Create your first forum posting

Your initial posting should be a repeat of what you will do in the first lab/recitation session. Include it it at least the following:

  1. your name and the name you prefer to be called
  2. your hometown (in whatever manner you chose to define the word "hometown")
  3. your class (first year, second, third, fourth, graduate student)
  4. your major
  5. what you hope to get out of this class
  6. and, the operating system on your personal laptop

Of course, you may add anything else that you wish.

Start the habit, right now, of always using the same label (or tag) for each of your posts.

  • Create something that identifies the posting as your posting, so one can seach by labels in order to credit you with your work.
  • If you wish, you may add any additional descriptive label that you wish.
