      \item a question; or
      \item something that puzzles you; or
      \item a gripe; or
      \item a suggestion for improving this course.
      \end{itemize}

    \item Write it down on a piece of paper, and give it to us.
    \item We will respond, either in today's session or on the web.

%     \item you can use Python for carrying out simple operations on text;
%     \item you can do all the easy and intermediate exercises in
%       Chapter 2;
%     \item you have found out where to get more information (fellow
%       students, the web, textbooks)
