Email sent on to SOWK 581
I hope you all have been enjoying this class so far. This is a reminder that the discussion forums are an important aspect of this class. My expectation is that you start posting early in the week so that there can be some back-and-forth discussion, especially on asynchronous weeks. If you haven’t made your posts for week two, please work on those. The forums close on Monday morning, and for the following weeks, they are due on Saturday before class.
