Summary of Course Web Sites

This last blog post is a summary of all web sites discussed in class and in this blog. I hope you enjoyed the class and learned something. College is a gateway to a higher standard of living and better lifestyle. However, its up to you to go through that gate and use the information and knowledge presented to you.

After 30+ years of teaching at Morehouse, I know only some of you will take advantage of this opportunity now. While others may need more time before you realize the opportunity. In either case, enjoy.

In this new information age, never stop learning.
