Introduction Discussion

Purpose

This discussion gives you the chance to introduce yourself, get to know your classmates, and "test run" discussion tools.

Directions

Post a Biography of yourself, one full paragraph minimum, for your classmates and instructor to read. This is where we'll be interacting with each other, so make your best effort to give classmates a clear description of who you are. In a new post, include information about:

1. Where you are from
2. Why you enrolled in this class
3. Interests and hobbies
4. Any questions or concerns about taking this yoga class

To post your biography, click the "reply" button below. You can comment on classmates' posts by clicking the "Reply" button on their post. The Canvas Student Guide Links to an external site. provides instructions for replying to a discussion post Links to an external site.. Optional: Use the built-in video recorder Links to an external site. so we can see your face and hear your voice. Just click the filmstrip icon in the reply editor.  I also encourage you to add a photo to your profile Links to an external site.. 

Please post early in the discussion period and write at least two (2) meaningful replies to classmates' threads. A "meaningful reply" advances a discussion by asking a question or adding to a topic. (Posting a Reply like "I agree!"or "Nice post" would not count as a meaningful reply.) In order to receive full points for the discussion, be sure to make the assigned number of posts and spell-check and proofread before posting.

All academic papers and submissions should be void of text abbreviations and include proper capitalization, spelling, and grammar. For every uncapitalized "i" or use of a text abbreviation there will be a one point deduction on your submission. 

Ideally, each student should get a minimum of 2 replies to their introduction.
