Polls

A new feature will be a new poll every quarter (I teach at a university that is on the quarter system). The poll results will be archived in this post. At the end of each quarter, I will update this post with the results. You will be able to get to this post by clicking on the "Polls" link in the "Topics categories" listing" in the blog's right sidebar.
