We will not tell you what you must do. We will not preach to you. We will treat you with respect.<\/p>\n<p>Your participation is confidential and can also be anonymous. The only identifying information we require is an email address. We don\u2019t share that with anyone. If you want complete anonymity, consider setting up an email account just for this course. Create the account with a username that\u2019s not your real name (e.g. sailor@gmail.com).<\/p>\n<p>You may find that some of your exercises are really helpful. If so, you can share them with other users. This is entirely voluntary though.
