thanks Protocol. yes, several of the Videos did have transcripts available, but not all of them. one transcript was 11 pages long ~! i couldn't retain that much in a month of reading...

anyway, i got an 18 of 20 on the 3rd test. it was the easiest yet, partly because it covered some old material, and partly because i'm getting the hang of taking tests again. studying is a method of focus as much as any other practice. i really appreciate being able to post in this forum. i never thought i would take an online class and it's a big thrill for me...

thanks again~
Gus
