Spring Rooms for both classes

Spring 2017

---

Hi folks,
The room for both iPhone Basics and iPad Basics will be Eureka 105.

Note for those who want to sign up for both (consecutive) classes. The online system doesn't allow you to do both, since they occupy the same time slot. So if you want both, sign up now for iPhone Basics. Then when the semester is about half done, we'll give you the signal and you can sign up for iPad Basics. It won't matter then that the system will kick you off iPhone Basics!
