Online training in E-Prime=?iso-8859-1?Q?=AE_?=from Michigan State Univeristy

[David McFarlane]

Now that I have posted the official notice, here 
is some amplification from me, the instructor and 
frequent contributor to this Group.

First, I will spare you the suspense and tell you 
that the course fee is US$300.  For that you get 
access to the course, a weekly Live Office Hour 
with me, and upon succesful completion 1.5 
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from Michigan State University.

Now, folks here often like to delve into inline 
code, so I feel it only fair to inform this crowd 
that coverage of inline code in the course is 
pretty light.  I think that some of us are too 
quick to resort to inline code, when a better 
understanding of E-Prime® might provide a better 
solution without code.  Also, inline code works 
better with a good understanding of all the 
fundamental elements of E-Prime®.  Thus, this 
introductory course presents such a survey.  I do 
introduce just enough about inline code to get 
newcomers started; any more might take a course 
in itself (perhaps worth doing if this course does well.)

But if I have done my job well, then this course 
will take care of all the basic questions that 
newcomers to E-Prime® face, and then they can 
come here with the more complex questions.

Finally, please note that the content of this 
online course has not been reviewed or approved 
by Psychology Software Tools, Inc., publishers of 
E-Prime®.  The views and opinions expressed in 
the course are strictly those of the course 
authors.  Any questions or comments regarding 
this course should be directed to the course authors.
