Behind this unassuming index page lies many more pages of useful information for the students of CSD 4200. You will see a menu of the basic links hovering to the left of each page. Use these links to take you to the major pieces of information that you will need. From these links, you will find your way to more detailed information, such as the outlines for each unit of discussion and the details of assignments and grading. Check this page regularly; things change. Watch the NEW STUFF box above for new items that become available.

A wise old grandfather in this profession once said that every person should choose a sphinx in their life -- an unsolvable riddle which they may devote their lives to solving. Stuttering makes a remarkable sphinx because it is one of the great unsolved mysteries of our profession. To some, the unsolvable mystery presents a nemesis rather than a challenge.

Our challenge in this course is to understand the mysteries of stuttering that people have unraveled thus far. Those that remain, we will do our best to accept. Mystery has some freedom to it, in that few "right" answers can be imposed upon us. That doesn't mean that anything goes when it comes to stuttering, however. We will find that some beliefs and ideas about stuttering are more believable than others. Part of our job becomes figuring out why one idea has more credibility than another. Get ready to stretch your grey cells.
