Hello everyone, First, forgive multiple emails if you are on more than one of these lists. As I notified you earlier, the online course discussion group will meet this semester at 3:30 on Thursdays, room 220 Ellison Hall (unless otherwise announced). During the first meeting last Thursday, we generated a list of topics that we'll be discussing this semester. If there's something you'd like to bring up that isn't on the list, please let me know.
