This class attracts students from all types of backgrounds and experience levels, so it is always interesting to learn what brings you here. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to the class. Tell us where you live and what you do if you’re working, or what your major is if you’re a full-time student. Also, please share why you  are taking this class and what you hope to learn.  As the instructor, I will also be part of the conversation, so it's only fair that I go first. To join  the discussion, follow the links to the “Student Introductions” discussion and click "Start a New Thread." When you are ready to share, click “post” at the bottom of the window (this button is sometimes hidden, so you might have to move the window up, or maximize it). Remember this short discussion is visible to everyone in the course so don't reveal anything you are uncomfortable revealing, but the idea is to help establish a "persona" for yourself, which helps others in the course as they interact with you in the Discussions or emails. This also will familiarize you with how the Discussion posts work. REMEMBER we will not tolerate bullying or harassment in this course so if you cannot write something positive, then don't write it at all. False2FalseFalseFalseFalse100TrueEGTC-1054792False0Stainless Steel in Our LivesAccording to the video, stainless steel has become very popular since its inception.   List 5 items in your home or everyday encounters having stainless steel.  Tell about one of them and why you think stainless steel was chosen for that product.False3FalseFalseFalseFalseFalseFalse0Plastic in our WorldWhat images spring to mind when you hear the word ‘plastic’?
