    Summer reading - Any suggestions?

    pockunit replied to Mudminkk's topic in General Students

    They aren't novels, but are wonderful narratives nonetheless: Sherwin Nuland's books on pathophysiology, How We Die and How We Live are always high on my recommendation list. More of a medical mystery...

    pockunit replied to ro2878's topic in General Students

    We round, and for some people it means passing. I'm within .2 of an A- in one class and that's going to be my ticket to a slightly better gpa. I'll take it, and gladly. Our A goes to 93, and 79 is...
