There have been a few threads for which
Checklists were required -- notably the
one on how to interpret entries from the =

30s & 40s.  But for the most part, access to
Checklists and R&I booklets is an advantage.

have questions, or think I haven't provided
enough information to solve the problem I've

TWOI is NOT a required text, but if you have it, =

you can often find the answers to homework =

questions in it.  =


Remember those college textbooks
that had a section of answers in the back?
That's the role of TWOI in these "classes".
If you don't have the resources to check your
own homework, send it to me -- off-list -- and
I'll let you know whether you're on the right track.

I, too, like to see articles like those.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to write
anything on that scale now.

The "classes" are student-driven.  If
I get beginners' questions that are of
general interest, I'll certainly post more
HYB 101 assignments to the list.  =


But PLEASE send your questions to me
off-list.  That preserves your anonymity!
