Dear Class,

For the remainder of the semester, we will use this space in 3 ways: 1. You will post some of your journal entries on this space. You will be able to read your classmates' entries as well. Please try to comment on what your classmates have posted. 2. You will find information regarding your research project on this site. You can use the links that I have selected or provide links that you have discovered on your own. 3. You will also work together on several projects. You can share information with each other and learn frm each other. I hope this will be an interesting experience for all of us.
