Additional information

I will be posting assignments and instructions to a group forum that I've created using http://www.caloriecount.about.com. If you are interested in participating in the course please create an account and request to join the group http://caloriecount.about.com/university-reddit-class-vegan-g2817

Please create an account using your University of Reddit username, or include that information in your request to join the course group. EDIT: I completely understand if you'd prefer not to use the same sn for security reasons, the only reason I requested this was to keep track of who had signed up on the roster vs who was registered in my group. Also, tell this website that your name is Rocky Raccoon or something similarly silly, they don't need your real information.

We will be using the tools on this website to monitor our daily intake of important vitamins and nutrients, as well as to save and sort our class recipes.

THIS CLASS HAS BEGUN

If you haven't registered for the group yet, please come join us. I will be keeping the class open for new members. All assignments will remain up for anyone to turn in at any time. I will be available to answer questions about all assignments throughout the remainder of the class.

If anyone has any problems with making an account or joining the group please let me know.

There is a discussion regarding this information if you follow the class url link back to reddit.com

Teacher qualifications

I've been a vegetarian for the last 10 years, and a vegan for the last 3. Since I've learned how to cook, all I've ever known was vegan and vegetarian recipes. I really enjoy experimenting, and cooking healthy meals. One of my favorite places in the world is in the kitchen, so I don't take offense when men tell me to get back to it.
