The chat room is provided as a way for students to interact interactively with each other and with the instructors. The chat room is open to all students. No additional registration is required. Any two or more people who simultaneously access the chat link will automatically enter the chat room. You will be assigned a generic handle, which you can modify.

At this time there is only one chat room for the entire site. If this turns out to be a useful feature, future plans may be to incorporate a separate chat room for each class. Your feedback is appreciated. On the other hand, if the chat room is abused then we may decide to discontinue this service.

Please adhere to the following chat room policies:

• You may use the chat room to discuss any course related topics.
• General good etiquette applies. No flaming or other negative or inappropriate comments will be tolerated.
• All discussions are considered copyrighted and are protected. Do not copy messages unless you have the explicit permission of the author.

Deviation from these guidelines may be cause for revoking your account.
