Acknowledgements
Writing a book is harder than I ever imagined. I started this because Adam, one of my kids, repeatedly told me to, but he died before telling what to write about! It took a year and the pandemic to figure it out, and a lot of talking with Sean, my other son. This is actually a culmination of many discussions with many people I worked with, but mostly Donalee Attardo, Kuyler McComas, and Kimber Andrews. So thank you all for putting up with my endless discussions about shortcomings of HE instructor support.
