I DESIRE:
- For you to have a fun way to see how many creative ideas and proofs you can come up with as a whole group. 12 minds are better than 1.
- A free exchange of ideas; feel free to disagree with one another; however, I do not want you to create dissension in the class. Be respectful and fight fair. Use concrete examples to back up your opinions.
- Each student must contribute at least five comments to the chat room. I will grade your comments as one minor grade.
- Note, if your comment exceeds the character limit, just add another box.
- The prompt in the chat room is limited because of space; refer back to the blog for the entire prompt.
- Have fun!
