Get to know your classmates by reading their messages.
Post replies to each of your classmates who has posted a thread by 9 am Friday of the Module. - Discussion Board 1 - post your Thread by 9am, Friday of the Module; and post replies to two of your classmates' threads by 9am of the Monday following the Module.
Thread : Post a mnemonic to help you remember one or more of the Greek letter sequences ζ - η - θ - ι or μ - ν - ξ - ο - π or φ - χ - ψ - ω
A mnemonic is just anything to help you remember something - it can be nonsensical, but it should be easy to remember. eg. "Fat Cowboys Get Drunk At Every Bar" to remember the order of sharps in major keys in music.
