   Sarahstudent replied to ldh's topic in International

   I'm taking the exact same program as the U of A at GMCC and I think that you have a bum teacher if she isn't going through the labs properly...CBL has nothing to do with the crappy way she's doing her labs. CBL is ok if you're willing to do the work....
