Besides the links Jackson suggested above, I'm sharing here and on
social media the following tips:

1) You may want to learn how to use virtual machines once testing is
supposed to break the system, ok?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/Classroom/Saucy/Virtualbox

2) Lubuntu Screencast about Virtualbox Guest Additions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy97CrfZAiY

3) Another view about VirtualBox Guest Additions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbMDZJsMZg8

4) How to use zsync:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/Classroom/Saucy/Zsync

5) Classroom sessions from the previous cycle, but still worthy to
learn for any cycle:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/Classroom/Saucy/

6) Class about QA Tracker.

Suggestion: do not miss bdmurray session about bug reporting!
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/06/24/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t21:30

Happy testing for everybody!
