** Small Groups: Beginning March 4 the class will break out into smaller groups of 2 to 4 students whose research topics are complimentary. I will meet with each group at least once each week and most often twice, either for short periods during the scheduled class time or at another day and time that is convenient for the group. In these smaller groups there will also be further appropriate reading assigned when and where I think it would be a benefit.
