Participation on "Dialogue About the Law"

Dialogue About the Law is an integral part of this course. 
We can send messages to everyone else in the class,
interacting with each other about the content of the course.
The discussion offers, to each of us, the opportunity to obtain more
than just "textbook learning". 

In addition about every other week, 
I will place a discussion question on our discussion page. 
The questions will relate to topics you have recently studied.

You can earn from 0 to 20 points for responding to these questions. 
Your responses will comprise your Participation grade
as detailed on the Evaluation page.

Let's "talk!"
