Please fill in every item - this will help you compose your introduction in Pepper (in the Welcome Folder) when you check into the course on July 4.  It helps me fill in the Class Chart(found on the information site main page http://astralsite.com/5011).  Partnerships are determined from surveys and suggest who might enjoy working together.  The teams are assigned considering  technical expertise so that each group has a mentor.  Partners and Teams will go in two columns on the Class Chart after the course starts. There may be changes in the class list if someone changes plans and a new member of the class comes from the wait list.  On the Information site main page you'll find a link to Quercus active as of July 4 and there will be a link to Announcements and to Pepper.
