First assignment: Introduce yourself!!




 
Dear Newell Scholars:

Welcome to the Newell Seminar Series!

As Newell Scholars, you have the unique opportunity to work with the internationally renowned scientist and writer, Dr. Caitlin O'Connnell Rodwell. You can read more about Dr  O'Connnell Rodwell at http://www.caitlineoconnell.com/index.php.

During your first class, you will meet with Martin Lammon and Rosalie Richards for preliminary preparations. We are very excited about the course!! Dr. O'Connnell Rodwell will formalize the online process later using D2L. For now, we will use the blogspot site.

Your first assignment is to INTRODUCE YOURSELF as a comment.
1. Tell us where you are from;
2. What is your major and rank (e.g., senior, graduate student)?
3. What do you like to do (for example, what you did last summer/fall)?
4. Share with us what you are curious about, what is your interest in science writing?
5. What do you hope to accomplish as a result of this course?
6. What do you bring to the course (talents, expertise, etc.)?
7. Identify one component/activity on the syllabus that you are excited about and why?

I will go first.
