Way too simplified presentation, more in-depth discussion would be appreciated for a challenge. needs updated information.

This course uses old, out-of-date information and contains tables that are apparently state-specific. Not as useful to me as the name of the course made it seem.

Wow, an email from a real person and not a pre-written response.  That is very refreshing.  I will be sure to recommend this site to others in my field!

Thank you for your quick response.  I can take unlimited courses for up to one year?  That means I can apply some of the courses for this year’s  deadline, and take additional courses after that toward my next period deadline!
