April 3, 2025: My CRPD Classes are starting to fill up! M Physical Science, F Physical Science, W Chemistry, and T Nanoscience are full, and waiting lists started. There is still a lot of flux in people's schedule at this early time, so getting on the waiting list now gives one a good chance of getting in the class. CRPD honors my lists and when a class fills, your lab fee/deposit (sent to me) will secure your spot in the class. There is limited enrollment in my classes and therefore they fill rather quickly.
