Class Website
(The sections below will be filled-in, modified,
and transferred to the public website as the semester
progresses.
Task assignments get submitted to Melissa
and ??? for editing, and then come to me. I then
send them to Andy to translate into the webpage
formatting.
??? then looks at the real webpage and
provides feedback for revision (stylistically,
content-wise,
or webpage design-wise) to me, Andy, and Melissa.
All tasks below do not need to be assigned. Some
sections
can just be filled in with links going elsewhere.)
