Welcome to the COUC 747 Class blog, and congratulations on taking the first step to be successful in the course!

Here is the space where we will be conducting the pre-intensive discussion reflecting on the reading and posing lingering questions regarding the class reading.

Try to describe this in one to three sentences. 2) What is one lingering question you have from reading this section? This can be over any aspect of the readings.

Step 2: Back your original post up in Bb (by Wed., Nov. 2nd)
