KAMRIN 2010 COURSE
We will be officially starting on 2010 November 15th.
You must have acquired a copy of the book in order to complete the course. However, if yours hasn't
arrived by the 15th, you can get along without it for the first few weeks by just following along in the
Study Guides.
For the remainder of 2010 there will be a short homework assignment or two in early December, then
another one in early January and fairly regularly after that.
There are three websites of special importance in this class.
1) GlyphStudy at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GlyphStudy/
This, is the main site. It is where you should ask questions and answer questions from other people in
the group. Because GlyphStudy is running several groups at once, it is important that your messages
start with the words "KAMRIN10" in the subject line of your posts. That way we can filter out all the
other messages that come through.
GlyphStudy also has a files and a calendar section.
Under files, navigate your way to the Kamrin 2010 folder. There you will find copies of the Study
Guides and, as we progress, the homework collations. These will be in .pdf form. To read them you
will need Adobe Reader which is a free and quite safe download and install.
The calendar section will contain notices of up-coming homework assignment due dates. The due
dates are not in the Study Guides because those are concocted well in advance, before the progress of
the class has been established.
By the way, you will find another Kamrin folder in there. That's for another group that started in 2008
and has now completed the course. You're free to root around in there for whatever it's worth.
2) GlyphStudy-2010-KAMRIN at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GlyphStudy-2010-KAMRIN/
This is where you will post your homework. Do not post it to the GlyphStudy main site. It will almost
certainly avoid detection there. On the other hand, make sure to ask no questions on the homework site
because they will avoid detection there. To recap - homework only to the homework site, everything
else to the main site.
3) My website at www.bobmanske.com.
This will contain Study Guides, Collations, Calendar, and other things of interest that are difficult to
share on GlyphStudy. You're free to browse around on the site, but the Kamrin 2010 page is where you
should pay particular attention.
The course works like this:
I'll publish Study Guides in advance of the material to be covered. Again, you can find them on the
GlyphStudy main site in the files section, browse to the Kamrin 2010 section. You can also find them
on my website. Read the Study Guides and send posts to the GlyphStudy main site if you have
questions. Also, I want you all to work together on this, so answer each other's questions. I know
you're not experts, but by answering each other, even if you get your answer wrong, you're learning.
And I won't let you go to far in the wrong direction. One thing, though. Don't take my comments as
the actual truth. I make mistakes, misremember or even unremember things. Check everything.
Homework assignments, but not due dates, are found in the Study Guides. Some will contain some
extra work which does not contain a key. It's kind of a self-test so you can measure your own progress
and understanding.
Homework due dates are found in the calendar section of the GlyphStudy main site and on my web
site. They will probably always be on a Sunday.
A few days after the homework is due I will gather them up from the GlyphStudy-Kamrin-2010 site,
strip off the names, and publish them in one huge file along with my comments. This is the homework
collation. I'll send a post to the GlyphStudy main site when it's ready. The collations will appear in the
files section of the main site as noted above and on my website.
Then we start all over again.
So, click on "accept" or whatever it says to be enrolled and welcome to you and we'll get under way.
Enjoy,
Bob
