Similar to weeks one and two, the discussion this week is focused on the readings in the week 3 schedule, and you should handle it exactly as you did weeks one and two. The purpose for these first three weeks of discussions is to get you acclimated as quickly as possible to the topic of CIKR, the lexicon, and some of the issues. From what you have already learned in the first two weeks, you should now be feeling more confident in your overall understanding of the course and the materials. This is the last week we will use this format. Beginning next week our discussions will be topical in nature rather than general, and next week we will begin with the subject of risk.
