Discussion Sessions – Spring 2006

REVISED 2-14-06

Grade points may be earned for X420 by submitting an activity sheet to your Discussion Leader.   Seating is on a first come-first served basis.  All programs run at 5:30pm.  One of them will repeat at 7:00pm each evening.   You may attend any program at either time or any evening; you are not restricted to the night for which you officially registered, but you may only attend any program once for credit.  You will not receive credit for attending the same program a second time.  The discussion sessions only run for the first eight weeks of the semester; plan your schedule carefully.
