Please note that, when you log in, you’ll be placed in a “Waiting Room” until I manually clear each of you for entry. Why? Because, apparently, some losers are “zoombombing.” Please make sure your Zoom user ID is recognizable, so I’ll know who you are — and if I accidentally block you, please send me an email asap to let me know you’re seeking entry!
Feel free to add resources and recommendations (for the group, for individual classmates, etc.) on our Shared Resource Repository!
Please complete this short (five-minute?) survey about how you’d like to use our final two classes.
