 - I hope to learn how an online course is set up, run and moderated by someone as inspiring as Caitlin who is the driving force or ... rather fairy behind me being here (together with some of my friends to whom I sent invitations to joing ...)

- time constraints 
- schoolwork overload

- no strings attached whatsoever,
