Assignment

Introducing yourself is one responsibility often encountered by professionals. This assignment will require yourself to the class. The presentation should last at least 1:40 minutes and no more than 2 minutes, and should give the class an idea of such things as your background, interests, major, unique attributes and experiences, etc..... !

Have fun with the content.... there are no specific rules for what you must include. Try to be interesting and creative-- remember that you want to engage the audience and keep them interested.
