ENG 333 Communication for Science and Research

 

Jamie Larsen, Instructor

Week 1 - Activity 1 - Discussion Forum

This activity will require you to login to WebCT/Vista, and post two times to a discussion forum. You will be doing this throughout the semester so I recommend that you explore WebCT if this is the first time that you are using this product.

  1. Login to WebCT/Vista
  2. Click on the Discussion Topic Introduction
  3. Post a brief introduction about yourself that includes the following information: Major(s) and/or Minor(s), Career Goals, Interests and Activities, and a Favorite Quote. You can use my Instructor Introduction as a model.
  4. Post one reply to someone else's Introduction in your class. This is your first chance to begin to get to know the members of your class. This will become more important as we get closer to the collaborative assignment 4 in this course. I will give you some choice as to who you would like to work with on a team.

NOTE: Putting off Posting to Discussion Forums is not a good idea since most will require that you post a reply. Waiting until midnight of the day they are due may result in your missing a deadline, and the consequences as listed in the Class Policies for this course.
