Putting this together, an introduction for a production and research class might look something like: | |||

Please make sure you have push-to-talk set on Mumble, and keep Mumble quiet during the class. You can put any questions you might have as I go along into the "class-questions" channel on Discord; it helps them be more visible if you begin them with a capital "Q". I will be watching the channel and fielding questions. If you ask a question I am going to cover in a few minutes then please don't think I am ignoring you—I will get to it! Also, if topics come up that might need some time to discuss, I've got 20 minutes for questions and answers at the end, and we can cover larger topics then. | ||
For the class, I am going to run through research first, looking at a blueprint in detail and then covering the various research you can do on one and the skills involved. For those who know a little about research already, I intend to cover Invention in detail at the end. After covering the research side of things, I'll go into production, the skills involved and cover a little bit on how to get into production for profit.
