Posting introductions
Go to the course discussion board on Canvas, enter the “introductions” discussion , click “Create thread”, and introduce yourself! What are you doing at NU? Please also post a photograph of yourself. This is mostly for my benefit. Otherwise, we meet on campus somewhere and I’ve no idea why you know me but I don’t know you!
