First Day: Check all of the pages and make sure that your browser can open all of the links. Read the syllabus and ask and answer questions in the discussion area. If you have questions, please e-mail Nancy Jackson. This course is an experiment, so please be patient with the online component. The binder with readings is available in C-108 at CCA Centre Tech, and I will bring them to class on Wednesday. Don't worry, you are not behind. the first day online is just to familiarize ourselves with the process.
