Hello,
I keep receiving my calclass with ? instead of quotation marks on a
number of entries. Could this be rectified? I'm particularly eager
that it be fixed on my own lecture, Oct. 16, so that it reads "The
Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece" rather than ?The Cult of
Divine Birth in Ancient Greece?
Many thanks,
Marguerite Rigoglioso
