Group differences forum

The group differences forum was really great. I learned a lot from hearing everybody's information and opinion. While obviously if we had taken more time and all read each article we would know more, but with the time we were given it was a very effective way to explore a number of important topics. I had to restrain myself from speaking up too much because I'm the kind of person who normally has a lot to say. It was very informative to hear different perspectives and facts brought to the table. Of course, most of what we heard was not facts but conjecture, but I think it still made for some very good discussion. My goal, besides not talking too much, was to stay on topic with my contributions.   I think i was able to do this. In fact I was very impressed with the ability of the clas as a whole to stay on topic. It was much better than other discussions we have had.
