Just a quick note about some of our open Autumn quarter courses. We had a few late additions to the time schedule, so thought I'd share these out and if you feel your students would appreciate them, please pass them on. I'm on cyclic leave for the Summer, but if you have any questions about a class, feel free to contact department at native@uw.edu.
