Email sent to Professor Cutler
Here's the email from Professor Culter: Maelle, We'll make sure that all contributions get taken into account. We're mostly going to look at the discussion anyway. If you want to meet to clarify what should be there for us to look at, we can meet next week. Best, Fred
To which I answered:
I am glad to know that the discussion page will be taken into account. However, what has been deleted cannot be found on the discussion pages. Derrick only posted his questions on the main page, as did I. I was only able to retrieve an earlier version of my questions from my computer, which I re-posted tonight on the main page. Also, in an effort to notify Derrick, could I ask you for his email address, as he has not logged in the Wiki page in a few days.
Moreover, I will post those emails on the discussion page so that my fellow group members can have access to them, and if we all feel the need to meet with you as a group, we will. On the other hand, I would be more than happy to discuss my work with you when you have time next week.
Sincerely,
Maelle
This is everything from the main page as I said I saved it, I thought I had saved it to the discussion but I guess I had not. My understanding was the front page was only suppose to be the questions that had already been discussed and edited here not just simply someone posting an then leaving the discussion. I really wish that I had the chance to repost but I stop checking this thread after the deadline, and after no one else made their last contributions by the deadline.
