A refresher course on how FTU works: You download a lesson each week and work through
it at your own pace, then practice your skills in an assignment you turn in to your
instructor. You also can communicate with class members and the instructor via a private
message board, or on-on-one with your instructor via e-mail. 

Take this opportunity to save a few bucks, bust through some brick walls, improve
your research skills and rejuvenate your family search!
