[NSRCA-dist8] Judging seminar

[Patrick Harris]

OK I have the answer about testing material. This is the response from Jon
Carter:

 Pat - You can download all of the relevant material from the website. It
is up to the instructor if he wants to have the students take the test. In
general I recommend it as the test forces the reading of the rule book!
What I sometimes do is have the whole class go over the test at the end in
kind of an open forum that usually leads to good discussion. The bottom
line is that someone, usually the instructor needs to send me an email
afterwards listing the students and verifying, in his opinion, that they
have passed the course. I will then update their records.



Thanks,



Jonathan L. Carter


So, the bottom line, is we do not need to take the online test as long as
we do the test in house as we did last year. Gary just submits the attendee
names to Jon Carter and we will be good to go.
