I've always wanted to be part of your team of volunteers. It took me so long to find a way to be part of the team. Can anyone help me realize this dream? :thumbsup:

I'm frequently checking the link but until now there is still no slot available. I'm also checking the list of registered HJT Sophomore Trainees and notice it to grow even though the link says that there's no slot available.

Is there something that I've missed? :thumbsup:

No, you've not missed anything. The sophomores that have been added have also waited for slots to open up. I waited a week but the turnover at sophomore level is quite quick.

Patience, cosmic_sniper :thumbsup:

Just check frequently and eventually you will find available slots. It took me 3 weeks. Good luck!

Why do they have limited slots? Its internet, no classroom, desk and chairs needed. Slots should be unlimited.
I guess the trainers are limited in number and they cannot train more than a bunch.

Your last statement is correct. There are a limited number of trainers, and the training is quite intense. Any online teaching scenario has to limit the number of students because there are still people who must read the material the students write and provide feedback. That takes time and thought. Increasing the number of students would have negative consequences on the training and development of all the students involved.

The only situation in which this is not the case is if the teaching/training is a fully automatic system. In that case, the feedback is limited in scope. It may work for some test preparation or fairly simple on-going training situations, but that is about it. Further, if a student doesn't understand the explanation or questions it, there is very little recourse and no opportunity for discussion unless such training is a supplement to something else that does have human interaction.
