Knowing about you and your backgorunds will help me present the course information more effectively. I've added this extra-credit Homework #0 worth only 5 points, to be completed before our second class (Thursday).
What I want you to submit is two paragraphs telling me a little about you, and about what you hope to get out of this course, and anything else you think I might find useful/interesting.
Submit this to learningsuite before our second class if you want the extra credit.
