   I think I'm 2 editions behind and doing just fine. For a little info on different versions, my final research paper for Comp 2 was regarding publishers releasing new book versions yearly. During my research I learned that all most publishers change ...

   The way I did it was to complete all my Gen Eds at the local community college(CC). I figured that having A&P and Micro with labs and a teacher was worth it. Also, since I took those at a CC, they were only about $90/credit hour. Everyone I kn...

   I just passed Health Safety on tuesday. I read all the chapters from the books listed in the syllabus, then I bought the sg101 guides. The guides made a great review after reading it from the books. However, a lot of the book material (for me) was...
