He's skeptical about it and wants more info. I know you gave the websites that evening however i didn't get the chance to write them down do to how quickly the discussion was going.

2018-10-16 05:57:17 PM daniellewooters ok so heres my big question beings this is my first online class ever. The only things I have to really worry about grade wise is whats under the assignment section and at least 5 chats...correct? I guess what I am most confused about is the practicum assignment forum...is that graded or just for us to read and use for information?
