I am glad I discovered your program! However, I've had a couple issues with login information - having to change my password a few times not recognizing me. And, I submitted this originally following the seminar on 9/18/20; however, it appears it didn't process as my seminar shows "pending evaluation". Though the credits are nice, I'm not in it for that. I just love to learn!
