It’s so cool that so many people sent their syllabi to share with our community in response to my post last week. I’m sure you will be impressed when you will see them posted. Several folks said that they couldn’t send their syllabi by June 22 but could do so soon afterward. So I am … Continue reading Call for DR Syllabi Extended to June 28
