This short discussion topic is mandatory and graded, though it is the only discussion topic in our course requiring just one brief posted comment in order to earn the full points for this item. Please don't worry about entering something "wrong" here, as this discussion simply asks you to quickly review the Course Objectives in the Syllabus and then write a single post with your initial perspectives before we move further ahead in this course. (Separately, please remember that the other discussion topic for this week will require postings across three separate days per the standard posting rules.)
