▬▬▬▬▬▬ Minimum Student Levels ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 
Please be aware I try to teach all of my classes to at least 2 students as I feel it provides a better teaching and learning experience. If the minimum amount of students is not reached 24 hours before the start of the course, students will be transferred to the next available section at a similar time.
