If you need course specific help, post your questions using the LLWD100 general forum. Remember to include the url of the page where you are having problems.

Let’s leverage the power of peer-learning by helping each other. If you know the answer to a question in the forum, help a friend by responding. Bear in mind that as an international course, academic volunteers helping out on the course may be in a different time zone and could be sleeping when you post a question.

Enjoy the session.
