I have taken 3 classes with QU. The owner periodically puts up a newsletter. Lots of times it is to show you new listings, but also I enjoy her written articles. I have visited this site for about 5 years and it is easily maneuverable and explained thoroughly. You can go see previous work done by students, there is a public chat area if you aren't in a class. Depending on the teacher, they are terrific at explaining things you don't quite understand. The full info on each teacher is there also. I was living in another country without classes when I took my first one and it really made me feel that I was "returning home to the U.S." for class. (although it was fun to meet online new friends from other places in the world). It is really a lovely atmosphere and community sense at this web class site.
