I will be happy to summarize any results I get from my students for this
list.

Could these notes also be made available to members of the Educat list
in some way?

Also, replaying to Diane Boehr on a similar topic: very interesting idea
of asking students to respond to RDA. I am pondering whether it would
work in my course. Would you be able to summarize their reactions
briefly for our benefit or discuss how the students reacted to the
assignment?

Thanks
