So after taking this course, reading the chapters and thoughtfully responding to the survey questions, as well as putting thought-provoking detail into your Blog responses, how will the contents of this class be a benefit to you in your future endeavors? Will any of it? Why? And if you are feeling particularly contrary, why won't it have any effect?
As always, let's stick to the protocol clearly outlined by Mrs.A in the beginning. I, for one, think y'all have been doing a tremendous job with that so far.
