Received course materials, unpacked and checked contents against included list. Read introductory material and Student Handbook. Completed Student Profile Sheet. Looked through course and prepared a tentative work schedule.  I hope that this course will help me to improve my drawing skills, which are less than optimal at present. I plan to spend at least some time on the course every day, and will probably devote more time to it than the 400-hour estimate.

Total time: apx. two hours
