Synopsis
I was unable to meet with the class today for a good and compelling reason, but I was very pleased to hear that the class me without me to discuss the topics for today. It's that sort of interest and effort that takes a class from being just another group of students to being participants in an engrossing conversation. Kudos to you all.
