2. Any recent Ramapo College students, PLEASE

   Southernurse replied to Southernurse's topic in New Jersey

   Oh, and the reason I asked about quality is due to the fact that my micro prof merely read to us out of the book and put the book illustrations on the overhead. No lecture, no answering of questions. I didn't learn a thing....
