Blog: The blog has been set up for you to utilize. Not only will I be incorporating it into the review courses by posting assignments and looking at your feedback, but it is there for you to help your other co-workers who are preparing as well. Feel free to post tips for studying, helpful hints, personal handouts, or anything you think will assist others as they prepare for the OCN.
