Week 6 (February 29 – March 6)

Monday, February 29   (6:30 P.M. – 7:20 P.M., GoToMeeting) Optional Session

Online Dropin Session

On Monday evenings, I will be holding an Online Drop-In Session using the GoToMeeting platform. Students are invited to join us to discuss questions and issues concerning the class. This will serve as an opportunity to meet and start discussions with other students in the class. I expect this to be particularly useful during the early part of the semester when we are forming teams. Your experience will be best when you are using a headset. You may join the GoToMeeting session using this link.
