<p>As you have probably seen, we have created weekly, topic-specific forums. Every week, we will also have a forum space called "Questions/comments" where you can ask questions regarding the course, quizzes, or other topics. The course team will periodically monitor the entire forum, but with special attention to this section. As a first step, please let us know on the "Questions/comments" forum here if you have any doubts about week 1!</p>
