I signed up the day before the course, so I didn't have much time to prepare for the course. I spent all night downloading and printing the handouts as my high-speed printer is not working right now and I was using a portable printer (slow). I will keep studying - the handouts and the presentation were both fantastic; I just need to catch up as it was a lot to take in at one time. Thanks for a great course!
