Attention sophomores or students taking 207/08/09 I have scheduled two sessions on WebEx to discuss starting the CSD major, things to consider, tips and more!! This would be a great place to ask questions about the class sequences or how to succeed. I will provide a short powerpoint but then open the floor up for questions.  While you are welcome at both sessions, the information presented will be the same on both dates.  Sophomore Session 2/8 at 11am https://jmu.webex.com/jmu/j.php?MTID=mf3837e7309dc7f59c1b5b22453e89982  Meeting number: 120 575 0492 Password: HnJXB3UR39M (46592387 from phones) Sophomore Session 2/11 at 4pm https://jmu.webex.com/jmu/j.php?MTID=m14e9c94e70559e7c131c0e295e285baf Meeting number: 120 876 8417 Password: 3PNbMR2SJX3 (37626727 from phones)

Attention juniors and seniors,   Dr. DePaolis is looking for two more volunteers to TA for CSD 209.  Those interested should have done well in the class. They should also be willing to spend one hour per week working with students, and 45 minutes per week meeting with Dr. DePaolis and the other TAs. All meetings will be online for the Spring semester.  Please e-mail Dr. DePaolis if interested at  depaolra@jmu.edu
