                             <h3>Our Mission</h3>
                             <p>
-                                To provide tools that make it dead simple for college students to collaborate during and after class, with peers and with instructers.  You can begin taking lecture notes online, and allow anyone to contribute.</p> 
+                                To provide tools to help college students collaborate in and out of the lecture hall with peers and instructers alike.  It is easy to begin taking class notes online.  Just <a href="/register" id="sign_up-link">register</a>, find or create your courses, and share the link with your classmates.</p> 
                             <p>
-                                You can also post questions that will be seen by the entire class, and get a response from your peers or instructor immediately. Sign up, or just have a look around. Let us know what you think. We need your feedback to make Finals Club the best that it can be.
+                                In addition to realtime collaborative note-taking, you can ask questions for your peers to promote or answer. While you use our tools, bear in mind that FinalsClub is a non-profit, free and open source project.  Please be patient and let us know how we can improve our products.  Only together can we digitize higher education, one lecture at a time.
