Getting started in QuarkXpress. 2

[HarlequinHoodlum]

I know all to well that I'm going to need some education in the program before I can get anything accomplished, so I requested a day course in QuarkXpress II (I wanted to save time and money by not completeing the first course, as it would be all familiarization with the tools and such)So here I am trying to get caught up before its time for my class (which is about a week and a half from today).

Are there any good projects for beginners? Should I find templates for download?
Are there any good tutorials?
I am very eager to learn this program. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much.
