Lab 1: Introductions Discussion

• 

  Posted by Francesca Lingo on February 8, 2021 at 4:36 pm

  Welcome to EAS 106: Fundamentals of Earth System Science! 

  Before we get started with the course it’s important to get to know the members of your lab group. You will create your post in the CUNY Academic Commons group to which you were invited by your lab instructor.

  For your introductory post, please provide the following information:

  1. Tell us your name, pronouns, and, if you have a nickname, let us know what you like to go by.
  2. Tell us what your major is, or what areas of study you are interested in pursuing.
  3. If you feel comfortable, tell us a little about where you are from and any hobbies that you enjoy.
  4. Tell us what you hope to get out of this class and how you hope it will help you in your future college courses.
  5. Share a photo or description of a geologic, hydrologic, or atmospheric feature, process, or environment that interests you. Tell us what you would like to learn about the topic you have chosen.

  Once you have created your post, respond to at least two of your classmates in your group. See if there are others who have the same interests as you or who have posted something that you find interesting. Let’s all talk a little as we get started!

  A word about Etiquette: 

  When posting replies, please be considerate of your peers. The discussion is intended to promote a collaborative learning environment, so be careful of your tone and refrain from inappropriate language or personal attacks. You may challenge others if the intent is to facilitate growth, but do not demand, harass, or embarrass. Encourage others to develop and share their ideas.

  Hi David,
  I enjoy cooking as well, what recipes do you usually make? I try to be creative and explore different areas such as vegan, American, quick meals, and snack foods. I am also interested in learning about the Earth’s ecosystems. As an environmental chemistry major, I think that we need to start thinking more about what are some products that we can make more environmentally friendly in order to reduce the amount of pollution entering our ecosystems and environment.

  Hi Saundarya,
  How long have you been swimming for? I started when I was five years old and then did competitive swimming for seven years and then two years during high school! My events were always the 100m backstroke and Mixed Relay. Hopefully this summer the beaches will be more opened and maybe we can see who’s the better swimmer. I’m also really interested in your concentration for mechanical engineering, how did you decide upon that? Good luck with this semester!
