Hi there -- Steve Sweeney here -- please text me so I will know you received these instructions. Also, (and this will help alleviate some of your frustrations during the course) please note that I respond to text messages a gazillion times faster than I respond to emails and phone calls -- so be sure to text me with your questions: 803.242.0778 -- but email ALL assignments that require an email response to: Assignments@GoodSuccessHomeStudy.com
Please use the Assignments@GoodSuccessHomeStudy.com regardless of what the instructions on the assignment say. This will let me know if you're reading the instructions -- haha -- I know that's kinda sneaky, but it's the only way I'll really "know" if you're actually paying attention. (Personally I think it's an absolutely brilliant idea - but then again, I might be biased just a bit) ...so if you call, text or email me wanting to know which email address you should send your assignments to -- then I will KNOW without a doubt that you did not read this -- then I will ask you point blank if you read these really wordy instructions, and you will either tell the truth and hang your head in shame, OR you will lie and say you read them -- and at that point, you and I will return to these very instructions and I will have you read these very instructions to me "aloud", then I will wait for your sincere confession AND apology for unintentionally trying to insult my intelligence (and craftiness - because there is a reason I'm good at this stuff). Now, if you are found to be making an attempt to be dishonest about it -- I will probably (definitely) add an extra assignment (or two) to your home study requirements.
PLEASE NOTE: All assignments will not require an email response -- so pay close attention

Remember -- we're dealing with the court system, so having your file correct in our system is very (VERY) important.
IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING
Login to the Online Classroom, complete all assignments for the course you're taking. Be sure to READ the instructions for each assignment. If you ask me a question that has been addressed in the instructions, be prepared for mucho grande trash talkin from me (all in fun and experiential learning) - but you'll deserve it because I'm warning you ahead of time. Some of the assignments are a little tricky by design - so be alert. This is the only way I can tell if you're really paying attention or just trying to speed through the course as fast as you can and make a mockery of my class -- and that is something I simply cannot abide -- I don't have the permissive DNA make up to let something like that go "unpunished" -- haha -- but I promise to make you laugh at yourself for trying to "pull a fast one" on me.
CAUTION: I will be looking for depth of understanding, so take your time and only send me work that demonstrates you clearly understand the information presented, AND you can effectively articulate how it applies to your life. * I say "articulate" because some people struggle with expressing themselves in writing -- so if necessary, I will allow you to explain your answers by phone.
The course is 100% online -- no workbook is coming, (unless you text or call me to specifically request one) - so don't blow this off.
LOGIN INSTRUCTIONS:
Once you click on the class you need to take (buttons are below) Select "New Account" -- then Catalog -- next:
-
Proceed to Checkout
-
Click 1 Item In Cart - green button upper right corner
-
Then Click Submit (don't worry, you won't be charged again - but it will look like you're going to be -- but you won't be - I promise)
You will then see all of the elements (assignments) for the course -- start with the pretest so I can see how much you know about the subject matter prior to being introduced to the course materials. Please, please don't call me and ask me "how I am supposed to pass the pre-test before I've been given the information" -- please don't do that.
The purpose of the pre-test is to get a baseline of your knowledge base BEFORE you've been exposed to the course content. This allows us to "measure" whether you learned anything or not. Your score on the final exam will be higher than your score on the pre-test. You ever seen one of those "Before & After" pictures? That's exactly what the Pre-test & Final Exam represent (now that was a dag-gone excellent comparision -- it was so good that i want you to text me right now and say, "hey steve -- i understand the pre-test / final exam thing you talked about" my number is 803.242.0778 -- be sure to put you name on the text -- this is your first assignment -- if i don't get this text from you -- I will know you're not reading the instructions.
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT: Once you create a username and password and start the course -- you can log in and out by following this link:
www.HomeStudyLogin.com -- type that url directly in your browser -- do not put it in a search engine -- you'll freak out trying to decide which website is the correct one -- then you'll have to call or text me -- and I will
KNOW you did not read these instructions.
BTW -- I have intentionally made these instructions as long, wordy and irritating as possible so we can begin the process of training your brain to do something it does not like or want to do -- SLOW DOWN -- but as you will learn in life, there are times that it is very necessary to slow down and read the fine print/instructions -- but suffice it to say, I feel your pain - however this is good for you, and could possibly be the most beneficial part of the course for you -- so eat your vegatables and grow up to be a big strong human.
Ok -- click on the course you purchased below and create a username and password -- and don't forget to text me about the pre-test thing.
