I find that classmates usually are able to help one another out more quickly than I. So if you are struggling, post your question or concern here and we'll all try to answer it as soon as possible. Like in the announcements page, I would post new questions at the top of the page.

Some typical categories of questions:

Technology

Folks, you really should be using Firefox to make the most of your Web 2.0 experience. Do it. You will like it. Then after you install FireFox, close IE7. Yes, you can do it. Add the Better Gmail 2 Firefox Add-On. It's a great little add-on that secures your google web apps so no one can steal your stuff (or look at your grades).

Assignments

Deadlines

If you wait 'til the last minute, you'll be SOL. Seriously. This is an online summer class, and no matter how geeky you are, it's near impossible to surf the web on a tube with a drink from the center of the salt river, so do NOT wait 'til the last minute. Wanna know why?
