A pass

Have just passed (as in only just) the first assignment. OK! That will do for me.
Having studied ETL 501 before 401, I am at least finding the knowledge I learned in that unit to be very useful in 401. I know that there is more that I can do but at least I am finding that I appear to be using the knowledge gained from 501 more as I go through this course. I think, given that I am studying in a linear manner ( one unit per semester), that I can only gain in useful knowledge by applying what I learnt last semester to the next. At least that is the theory!
