Click this link to access the Week 5 Discussion board.
As I’m sure you can understand that, with nearly 80 participants in our OpenLab group, it is not possible for me to respond individually to every single post. However, I assure you that I do read every post. I will, of course, be jumping into the forum from time to time, usually in the first few days of the week. This discussion board really belongs to you. It is an opportunity to connect with a wide community of students from two other sections of ENG 201.
Reminder: Essay 1 is due this week (Sunday, 2/28)
