Basic Requirements This new literature module (D) demands a lot of work and organization. It also requires the ability to express yourselves well in English, since most of the questions are open-ended.

I wish you the best of luck and success! I hope you enjoy the program. Remember! The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
