Welcome to your blog
This blog will act as a forum for the discussion of issues, ideas and theories addressed in your lectures and seminars.
You are welcome to add your posts and respond to each other's (and mine). The content is up to you, but I would encourage you to use the themes and ideas from PCAD400 as a starting point for this blog.
I would suggest that you label each post with your own name so that, should you wish to, you will be able to find your own posts/ comments and include them in your own research file.
Happy Blogging!
