Welcome to 1302!

...and to our class blog.

The purpose of this blog is to provide an online space where all of our class materials will be available. 

On the blog itself, I will post:

• weekly agendas & homework
• announcements, reminders, offers of help
• the occasional Youtube video, meme, or link

On the right side of our blog you will find:

• my contact information
• our syllabus & tentative calendar
• Google Drive Setup Instructions

At the top of our blog, you will find:

• Q&R info & help
• our course readings
• project prompts & help
• the "???" section
• You can post comments under the "???" tab and I will respond (just make sure you include at least your first name in your comment, I will delete anonymous posts). Also, make sure you read through previous questions and answers (just in case someone has already asked the same question and received an answer, it'll save everyone time!).

Essentially, if you need information about this course, you need only visit this blog and it's likely you'll find your answers. So, browse around and get to know the blog well. 

I'm looking forward to a fun and meaningful semester!
