Poll Time!  Throughout seminar, I may do a poll.  A poll window will pop up on your screen, with a question, and below you will have choices to select.  The purpose of polls is to reinforce key information that I feel is important for you to know.  Please do not type your answer in the class activity box for everyone to see.  The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows who votes how (including me), so don’t worry if you don’t get one right…it’s ok:)
