Here’s an open invitation to register and make comments on what you’d like to find out the first day of class. You’ll of course had time to look at the WebCT website and see the course info and schedule, which we will discuss. Any special requests for information? Should we introduce everyone? What would you like to hear Friday if we need more time?

Supply Chain and Logistics 
The first day went ok from my standpoint. A number of students joined Macro, more than I had thought would be in it. We will have plenty of room, but it is a lecture hall and not well suited for group activities. We will find a way to do them, though. We did not get time to do introductions in Macro, nor in the afternoon logistics class. Hope all will learn about each other through the class activities.
