Online Discussion Session	Every Monday evening, we will have an online discussion session using the GoToMeeting platform. Officially, this session is optional. Yet, I am confident that you will find these sessions helpful. So, I encourage you to attend as many of these sessions as possible. This experience will be best when you are using a headset. You may join the GoToMeeting session using this link .
