This page is still something of an experiment in making class information available on the WWW. I'm interested in hearing your comments! I'm aware that I'm something of a barbarian in the world of html design, so please feel free to send me a message with aesthetic or substantive comments. (Steven.Pollock@Colorado.edu)
