Welcome to WebBoard! We will be relying on WebBoard extensively throughout this class for Q&A, as well as to handle logistical matters.
If there are any course-wide announcements, for instance, they will be posted in the Announcements conference. You are expected to monitor this site prior to coming to class. Please be sure you do so!
You will also use WebBoard to pose questions (relevant to the course!) to Prof. Petry as well as to your fellow students. Separate conferences are established by topic ("Homework Questions" for instance) which insures that the discussion in that conference will be relevant to your topic of interest. WebBoard will be monitored as frequently as practical, but best efforts will be made to answer all questions posed by end of day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
On occasion, our class web-site will be down with server problems. If this is the case, you can still get to WebBoard by going directly to:
