Since he decided to ask us to join a group, I created one for AHA forum members. I am still not quite sure how groups work.

The Group code is qwtWJcx1UZh

I don't understand the groups either. How do members of the group communicate? Do we just list all group members as contacts?

My understanding now is that it allows you to see all other members in your "contacts" tab and chat with them as you would a contact, but without adding everyone individually.

Some answers on test I question. I wrote the instructor( end of test section) because from his lecture and quiz hopefully will get a 2 to 3 answers changed. Otherwise I still passed   .

I guess I passed the first graded quiz (assignment grade 15, not sure exactly what the grade is based on).  You won't pass this one based on brewing knowledge alone!  Unless you have a biochem background, it would be pretty hard to get all the answers right without some real studying especially the non-multiple choice.  I'm assuming the quiz is closed book.  The quiz can be done in 10 minutes.

So far I'm enjoying the class.

They must of had a few problems. When I went back to review test it was cleared ended up having to take again. It looks like some test and quiz questions were getting interchanged? received a 15 happy with that.

Looks like the class made news.

Is anybody still active in the course?  There's some interesting discussions going on.

I was going to go back to take the fermentation self-eval and quiz.  I'll look out for the discussions.

I was doing it for the first 4 or 5 weeks but then my windows pc died and the site didn't work in linux so I had to give up

I got too busy to keep doing it.  I am hoping to either do it on my own or do it if they run it again.

Same here. Got through like week 4 or so before I realized that there was very little return on investment for me for the time investment needed. I don't really get the vibe that the profs understand brewing to the level that I'd hoped. It's really a chemistry course as opposed to a brewing science course.

If a school with a solid Brewing Science program like UC Davis offered a course like this, I'd sign up in a heatbeat (especially if Bamforth was teaching). Otherwise, I just don't have the time (or need) for it right now.

One good thing was that I learned was that going back to school would not work out for me at this stage in my life. I have been kicking around the possibility of getting my masters via an online program. If I can't find the time for one "just for fun" course, there's no way I could handle a full coarseload for a degree that I'm paying for.

I've gotten a lot out of it.  Even though the instructors don't know a lot about brewing, the chemical concepts are pretty interesting.  Plus there's some pretty good info in the reading material - again, you need look past the lack of brewing knowledge in the reading as well to get anything out of it.  I've just finished the last quiz and am going to start studying for the final.  I'm not sure how the study group material works either, but am willing to try!
