Once you are correctly enrolled (see the previous message), you’ll want to access the course Canvas.
You automatically get signed up for a canvas account (using your NetID credentials). However this might take a day or two after you enroll.
I can’t assign people to discussion groups until everyone is enrolled and set up in Canvas. So I haven’t put people into groups and you can’t do the first writing assignment (yet). I will post when this is ready (probably tomorrow). I understand if this delay means that you might be a little late in starting/finishing the first assignment.
