Hey everyone,

I’ve really been looking forward to this class for some time.  As the last CS course I need to take before graduating in the spring, I’m hoping that I will learn as much as possible from it.

Obviously one of my goals is to learn some stuff and get a good grade, but I’m expecting much more from this course. Working in a group environment is something that is very common in the “real world,” and being able to get some experience working on an open source project in a group should set us off on the right foot in regards to succeeding after college. Another goal of mine, not only for this course but for the semester, is to improve my coding skills. It has been over a semester since my last programming assignment and I’m in need of some brushing up.

On that note, I think this course is going to be much different than any other CS course I have taken up until now, but it seems like its going to be fun and very interesting.
