Getting to Know You

PrintPrint

Now that you've had a chance to learn about the course and the online learning environment, I'd like to get to know you...and help you get to know each other! Complete the activities below, then continue with the remainder of the Course Orientation.

Activity

By now, you hopefully have a much better idea of what this course, and the online course environment, will be like. Time to test your skills! Once you have reviewed all of the materials for the Course Orientation, you will need to take the "Course Information Quiz" and pass it with a score of 90% or better in order to unlock the assignment dropboxes for this course. You can take the quiz as many times as you need until you obtain at least a 90%.

  1. Take the Course Orientation Quiz!
    • Go to Canvas.
    • Click on the Modules tab.
    • Click on the link to the "Course Orientation—Course Information Quiz" and complete the quiz.
  2. Complete the "Initial Course Survey"
    This survey contains questions about you and your expectations for this course. You will NOT be graded on the correctness of your answers to the content questions. However, participating in this survey is considered in your final course grade. To access the Initial Course Survey:
    • Go to Canvas.
    • Click on the Modules tab.
    • Click on the link to the "Course Orientation—Initial Course Survey" and complete the survey.
  3. Introduce yourself and meet the rest of the class!
    We will use a discussion forum in Canvas to post, and read, self-introductions. To access the discussion forum:
    • Go to Canvas.
    • Click on the Modules tab.
    • Click on the link to the "Course Orientation—Personal Introductions" discussion forum.
    • Post a new message containing your personal introduction:
      • Who are you?
      • What do you do when you are not taking this class?
      • What is your interest in this course?
      • Anything else interesting about yourself you'd like us to know?
    • View other students' postings to learn more about them.
