is responsible for the entire time period from 3:00 until 5:40 pm. There is a 10-minute break at

requirement for 3 educational credits (based on 50 minute hours), this time frame must be
covered. No partial hour credits can be awarded.
The program is held in a lecture room that seats about 150. The room is equipped
with a screen and Power Point projector. Please bring a flash drive to insert into the
college's computer; using your laptop computer will prove to be more difficult.
