1. What is your first name only (NOT last name)

2. Why are you taking this class and what do you hope to learn

EXAMPLE: 2.6 miles from campus. The goal here is to use new tools available to us. You can always come back to edit this)

Question Responses:

1. My first name is Frank.

2. I am currently taking this humanities class because I possess a profound interest of the subject matter found within the courses spectrum. I found that taking an introductory course of the various humanities would be a very fun and fascinating experience, and what better way than to do it online.

3. According to Google Maps I live 16.2 miles away from campus

4. When I think of “California”, I think of the 31st state of the United States, the most populous of the fifty (50) states, and a state that possesses an abundance of history and distinct cultural characteristics. I have lived in California all of my life and thus have special attachments to this particular state.

5. I am currently keeping a blog for an English class that also happens to be an online course. I haven't kept a webpage or blog anytime in the past (not even a myspace), but now I find myself operating two of them (web logs) simultaneously and for the first time.

6. As of now, I'm using a PC (Sony Vaio) as my computer of choice.

7. My January 20th, 2009 - while seemingly ordinary and lacking eccentricity - was actually anything but average. It was an important day for myself and for the United States. President elect Barack Hussein Obama II became inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States, hopefully ushering into the confines of this North American country an era of change and progress.
