- Rules of discussion

Basic understanding - you're invited to a deeper discussion and/or research of a subject outside of the study circle and to share your findings in the next meeting.

Please feel free to speak up if you don't understand a particular word or concept!

Avoiding the dictionary

Respect each other's opinions, but always go to the source!!!

- Parking lot - explain (a place to put ideas/suggestions/comments that you don't have time to discuss immediately, you "park" the idea until later).

- Summarize after each section!

                            Any questions that came up?

                             Check that parking lot!!
