This is a discussion area for our class outside the context of a particular

or with the instructor when taking a conventional classroom course, you should
also have the opportunity to do the same in a web course. The STUDENT CAFÉ is
available only to students enrolled in this class to post and/or read messages
and respond. These can include questions or comments to other students about
course material, assignments, readings, etc. It is also a place where you can go
to socialize and have open discussion on subjects of your interests.
You will find the STUDENT CAFE in the DISCUSSION BOARD section of the Course. `
