Title: 1.2: Getting to Know You!
Course: 15SP-HIS-120-W02-A & P OF AUDITORY AND SPEECH

Welcome to HIS 120. I personally don't like being unable to see your smiling faces from behind your computer screens, so I'd like for each of you to take a moment out of your day to tell me and your fellow classmates a little bit about who you are!

Please tell us your name, where you are from, how you became interested in the field of Hearing Instrument Dispensing, and a personal tidbit (family, hobbies, etc).

Finally, as an icebreaker, I want you to take a moment to reflect on how much appreciation you have for your sense of hearing. Afterall, isn't that why we are all a part of this program? I would like you to answer the following questions...

What is your favorite color?

What is your favorite sound?

The second question isn't as easy to answer, is it? We live in such a visual world, that we often take of hearing for granted. I hope this question inspires you to appreciate all of the sounds of your life a bit more than you did yesterday.

Your intial post in due by Thursday, January 15th at 11:59 pm. Please reply to at least two of your classmates posts by Sunday, January 18th at 11:59 pm. Access the forum by clicking on the Discussions link on the course menu at the left side of your screen.
