With just 9 days before we leave we have to hit the ground running in terms of our coursework. There's a lot of work to do this week, but that is because we want to be well-prepared for experiences once we arrive in Santiago. Some of the most important parts of our course will happen in this week before we leave. By the end of the day on Monday please complete the following assignments. Further explanation of each topic and the links to videos and readings are available in the Course Sections area of this blog.
For the Discussion board you are responsible both for posting your own entry and for responding in a thoughtful way to one of your peers' entries.
Remember that the quiz is open-book!
I'm looking forward to reading your first blog posts! Don't forget to send me the links so that I can add them to the course blog.
