Hi, Tzipporah!
 
I am very interested in more information about your online class. 

 Can you explain how it works and what is involved?  Do you connect 
to the BBS where the class is at a certain time?  Are you required 
to purchase books or is all the study material you'll need on-line? 

 Can the number be dialed via P. C. Pursuit or StarLink?  Do you 
and the student, or any professor and the student communicate directly? 

 Is it one-on-one or a group thing?  Also, since there are scholarships 
such as the Pell Grant and other scholarships primarily for women 
and the disabled, are there sources of financial assistance to help 
take this class?  If there are, would I have time to apply for them, 
or could I begin the course an~rd be reimbursed later?  Could you 
tell me a little about Dr. Levinson's Master's program?  Does your 
course give CEU credits?  How are the courses graded?  Are there 
on-lline courses for children?  Is tthere a comprehensive list of 
all sources of on-line courses and when they start?
 
Sorry for all the questions.  I want to go to grad school but am 
starting my own company and have a child to care for, so this sounds 
like the perfect solution for me.  Also, are some job-related courses 
taught this way?  Thanks for your help.
 
By the way, weren't you on the Newsreel at one time?  I am prei]tty 
certain you were.  If you were, I remember you did some interesting 
articles.
 
Take care!
 
Linda Iverson
 
P.S.  Are these courses specifically for the disabled or may anyone 
take them?  If printed material is mailed out, is it possible to 
get these same handouts in braille or on disk?  Bye--I think!
