dullman (Tue, 20 Jan 2015 20:59:56 GMT): Rollback: Can we get a more descriptive course title? The current one is like a cute subtitle but begs an assortment of questions. Also, the word "material" in the course description is unclear. To what does it refer?
dullman (Tue, 27 Jan 2015 20:06:48 GMT): Rollback: Please address my comments.
