   The text arrived on Tuesday.... I had it sent over night. The text was helpful so I didn't't have to refer to the internet constantly, and alot of the class is "combining forms", which are stated in the text. I'd also like to take tha A&P, but w...

    echo56 replied to echo56's topic in General Students

    Thanks folks, venting has helped. Just knowing I'm not the only one who goes through this, helps also. Unfortunately moving seats isn't an option. A number of people in our class have requested this, and it's not allowed. I just know graduation is c...
