Food

Course Syllabi
These syllabi are generic versions of the ones I used for classes taught during my 24-year career at Tennessee Tech University’s Appalachian Center for Craft. They worked well for me. They are offered as guidelines for possible format and content for your own syllabi.

Thank you very much. Just a regular guy, with no fancy titles or boasts. Outlook express 2016 not loading. I cannot see that I need either product as if I am in contact with the internet I can just as easily log onto Gmail to send/receive emails. That does make it clearer - at least I now know that I cannot use Outlook.com or Windows 10 Mail for my needs (I create a weekly newsletter to many recipients whilst touring around Europe and need to do so offline as I am only occasionallyin touch with WiFi). It should run even faster on newer hardware.
