    I'm indifferent, except it may be easier for them to take advantage of the previous threads if all the Penn/Foster threads are grouped together.

    OK, I've created a new sub-forum in the Beginners' area for questions relating to student projects and moved all the Penn Foster posts into it. Hopefully, those having problems with the Oleson Village or Ash Creek projects will find the help they need without too much additional input.

    Well it will certainly make telling people where to look a lot easier. As for the need for additional input I have a feeling that the demand will still be there primarily because some (not all) people just come here looking for a quick answer to their question and don't want to put in the time or effort to do a little research first.

    True, but having all the Penn Foster topics in one place should increase the likelihood that they'll look at those topics for a solution first.

    If nothing else it will be easier on the rest of us to find the answers for them!

    I have to agree Jack_O'neil, I see that there are many threads that I did not know were there.

    Maybe we should be getting a fee from Penn-Foster for answering questions. Or we can just bill them.

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    Well, it looks like we have most of their course material, so why don't we just rewrite it so it makes sense and contains all the missing information. Then when students come here for help we can just hand them the revised and corrected assignment and send them on their way. It's pretty obvious that Penn Foster has no intention of making any corrections to the assignment materials.
