In my introduction and the welcome message, I told you a little bit about myself -- what inspires me, my background, my interests, and goals. I would like all of us you join this discussion creating a new thread "Bio - Your Name" and share a bit about ourselves -- our interests, the field that we would like to work, things that we have achieved that we are proud of, our dreams and goals for the future and anything else that we may feel would interest others.  I look forward to seeing all of you on the Discussion Board forum - 'Bio - Prof. Palit'.  

We have, typically, two discussion questions every week. Your answers to these discussion questions need to be well-thought out and about 150 - 300 words. You are required to respond to Discussion Questions (DQs) at the latest by Saturdays, and to your peers by Sunday. If you ONLY post your own response, you will only received 1 point for the Discussion Question. You need to AT LEAST respond to two of your peers. 

For this introductory week you are only required to complete one Discussion Question (DQ) and complete one quiz. This week's discussion question is focused on getting to know each other. I grade on Mondays -- always.. so if you do not submit by Sunday midnight -- I cannot grade your response on Monday.   For this Introductory week please post your introduction by Sunday - Week 1 under the Discussion Question board (see link on left if you are not sure where to find the Discussion Questions). It is worth 2 points. The second submission for this week is a survey. Please complete it by Wednesday - Week 1, as well. This is worth 1 point. Please see the discussion question on the link below.
