<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> In this Discussion Area you will find several posts to respond to during class. Feel free to focus on one or wander through all of them, it is entirely your decision. The post area is a little clunky, but I think it will introduce a new way to generate a class discussion with all of you in control. Careful what you post, it all comes back to specific people. I trust you will use your best judgment. Enjoy this.
