Course Resources Page

This page is designed to complement the functions provided by Blackboard, or Bb. Bb is where you will go to participate in discussion boards (including asking questions in "Ask Pablo"), sign up for groups, submit your work electronically, and keep track of your grade. Everything else, such as handouts and assignment descriptions, can be found here on the Course Resources Page, or CRP.

If you have difficulty finding a particular resource or note that a link is inactive on the CRP, please make a comment on the "Ask Pablo" forum in Bb (you can earn up to 2 points XC for the latter).
