Section 9 Group 1 "42"

Today we took our second exam.  Before that, we picked our two discussion questions and then did a group study for the exam.  I hope it helped everyone in the group as much as it helped me.  I thought it was both humorous and enlightening.

There is now a place to post questions for next class.
