INTRODUCTION TO THE WITCH'S STUDY~BUDDY
B. Study Outline


Study-Buddy Study Outline

The following is the outline used for the Study~Buddy program. It is very extensive. You may wish to print it out to use as reference. You should also keep in mind that it will modified and become more detailed as time goes on.

Please Note: This outline is for the purposes of giving you an idea of what you will learn through using the Study Buddy program. However, not all of these lessons are available on-line at this time. It takes a great deal of time to write just one lesson, as I don't skimp on the research or the thought process, nor do I simply "throw" a lesson up just to get it on-line. Because of that, I felt that providing you with a full outline would help you in your own research, offering you some kind of guideline to follow when looking for information outside of the Study Buddy.

At this time there are approximately 75 pages worth of printable material available for you. When you have reached the end of what is currently available, you will be given the opportunity to sign up for the "AWW Study Buddy" notification group, which will inform you of new lessons as they become available.
