Miscellaneous FAQs

I am not in a group yet. What do I do?

If you registered very recently for the class, try to find others in the class who are in groups already and see if you can be added on to a group. Also put your name on the Google ÒorphanÓ spreadsheet and look for a group there.

When do the web casts get online?

The webcasts are usually available an hour or two after the class is done, assuming I stay on top of things. Last week was hopefully an aberration.

Do I need to read all your emails? (They are getting a little tiresome)

Heck, yeah!!!!
