Next week:

The focus next week will be on clearing as much of the course content for the first half of the semester. We will answer answers and continue the work sessions. The weekly meeting for 10/29 will be extended to 9 pm. The plan is to make a significant dent in the clearing process for the the 8 weeks worth course materials that you'll have.
