Understood.
I can definitely say that it was in two books. I never bothered
inquiring into the rest of my class. Just me and my co-worker. I
basically finished the class with two days left. I didn't think that
there was really enough time to inquire into anyone else.
Though I'm pretty curious as to what our class online was like that day.
I wonder if anyone else brought up, I don't see what you're talking
about... ;p Due to time, I was only able to attend a few of them.
Maybe that's the difference though - does everyone read every single
page? I did. But I had to...not that I wouldn't have.

Isn't that what "Quality Control" is for?

You are correct. That was actually what I ended up doing. I spent a
few weeks going the other route. Finally talked with my instructor and
he got things moving almost immediately.

As am I. I was beginning to feel very petty over the whole thing.
Typos are just annoying, but a section missing? I just didn't
understand. It seemed to me like everyone else looked at it as not a
big deal. I was horribly disappointed and frustrated. I bombed that
section in the practice area. ;p

Thank you for your comments. They are appreciated.
Hopefully...if anyone else runs into this, it will help them.
