Meg’s instruction and the handouts are excellent. I viewed all of the videos once before I went back to re-watch and do the drafting, however when I went back it said I finished the course and the option to submit assignments wasn’t there, I couldn’t figure out how to submit and did ask that question through the help but they did not understand my question. I submitted the first assignment with a posted comment. It would be great if we could view and had the option ourselves to say we had completed it or if the assignments could be submitted up until the day the course ends even once we had “completed” the course (i.e. viewed the videos)
