You will get the most out of this tutorial if you are able to access the NEWA website at the time as viewing the webinar, either on the same or on different computers, as there will be "practice problems" to work through on your own during the tutorial. It is not necessary to take part in the practice problems, but they will help you to get the most out of the training.
This workshop is supported by Cornell University Cooperative Extension, NEWA, & NYSIPM.
