Greetings from Moscow!

Dear Rodney and Sarah, I have tried to fill in the table, I hope it went 
through. I am also providing abit more information about our class in 
this email.

Our apologies for slow response, but some of our students have not 
arrived yet due to visa issues. But we are very happy to report that we 
will have 46 students, both Russian and international. We plan to join 
the blog activities pretty soon, once we have everyone in the class.
The course is run from 1/09 till 18/12. The students are required to 
submit essays (the topics we have already sent and they are included in 
the program Rodney has kindly shared) and to write three entries to 
blogs and responses to other students' entries.
We might be able to accommodate one joint group project. We can offer to 
arrange a joint discussion via skype between classes, if there is 
interest and such possibility. In the first half of the course for which 
I am responsible I have reserved time either 20th Saturday daytime 
(Russian time) or October 6th, Monday, evening, keeping in mind that we 
are in different time zones.

Best regards,

Ksenia Gerasimova and Zinaida Pogosova
