There's a typo on the flier. It says 8/21 through 8/24. It ~should~ say Thu=
rsday, 8/22 through Sunday, 8/25 . I'll fix it as soon as I can.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.

Can you (eventually) offer a guarantee? LPI101 isn't an RHCE exam: if it t=
urns out you get 90% of your students to pass, then raising your price by 1=
0% and offering to give their money back if they don't might be good market=

o those that fail the in-class attempt. A money-back guarantee could create=
serious problems. The one that comes most clearly to mind is the student t=
hat knows next to nothing about Linux, enrolls in my class, doesn't prepare=
, feels nothing but fire-hosed in the classroom, and then fails the exam mi=
serably. The students need to meet the prerequisite experience and/or prepa=
re appropriately to enjoy the high-intensity class, and have a good chance =
of passing the exam in-class. Also, there's a moral hazard in an exam-pass =
guarantee. My friends are impervious to such things, of course, but my frie=
nds' friends might not be, and I wouldn't want to have a part in a moral fa=
ilure.<br><blockquote style=3D"border-left:2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);margi=
