This is really useful, but being a novice at this, while I *think* I could answer these questions right, I'm not really sure. Could you provide a one-sentence-per-question type of key to solidify us bio-ignorami? Also, dovetailing on your assessment, what *do* they typically get, and what do they usually struggle with when you try to reapply this?

Emilly, thanks for the reminder.. this got lost in my todo list... I will write a scribbled one and send it directly to you and then pretty it up for VIPEr.  How soon do you need it?  I will be away until Monday.

Sheila,

How are you? I'm sorry my reply is coming almost 2 years later! I was wondering if you ever sent the Ans Key over to me?
