        <span style=”font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;”><span style=”font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;”>I’ve been enjoying the course since…oh, I think last October. It appears I have yet to include an original post (if one calls this post original, lol) to this student forum; so here goes…if it does. Some of my posts/comments have not gone through in the past, for whatever reason.  Although, this isn’t quite a question in regards to the herbal course material, I will comment that I do struggle with organization (being the anally organized person that I am), ie. printing lessons in advance. I somehow end up with duplicate pdf files on the same topic, or a new update is in the works.  Just wondering if having numbered topics/pages would be beneficial; particularly when pdf’s are updated within the syllabus? However, I do understand the down side to a numbering system when updates occur. But perhaps on your update page in forum, it might state the such and such a page in whatever topic has been updated, or added a “1.1, 1.2… to that sub-heading would suffice? I am trying to proceed systematically in order; except for an occasional topic of urgent need. It is helpful to see when items are completed; but not so easy to reproduce sections from the pdf’s already printed out. A great course! Nothing else like this out on the market. I love that I can do at my own pace. Although, I don’t think I will ever get to studying the plant monographs at the pace I’m going, all due to my anal retentiveness in the attempt to stay organized, lol. Maybe one a day. Thank you Doc, for your continued efforts to improve this course along the way…I think, heheh.</span></span>

          Boy do I hear ya Wanda – I think we’re distant twins.  I get stuck on organizing, categorizing on my computer, and then get so distracted with all that, that I neglect the class info for weeks at a time often.  Of course, there are other “distractions” that overtake me often – I typically have probably 100 tabs open chasing so many rabbits that I often forget what I was working on before I opened more tabs.  I sometimes think the ability to have multiple tabs is more of a minus than a plus, but for some insane reason, I keep opening more instead of spending time CLOSING them (after bookmarking them, printing them out, or whatever).  So don’t feel bad – there’s always someone struggling more!
