"The getting of wisdom is no match for the thrill of the chase,
and those who choose the longer road shall reap their reward!"

Videochat Protocol

When you enter the chatroom, please click on your name, select "Rename," and
add the class you are in to the end of your name (e.g. "Agatha Heterodyne Eng 17")
to make it easier for me to see who is in which class.

I find it easier to teach when I can see people's faces. You don't have to
turn on video if you can't or don't want to, but if you're willing, please
use a picture of yourself as your profile picture; if not, perhaps a picture of a
pet or an ancestor or your favorite superhero / musician / cartoon character.
