Agreed. The syllabus was/is a waste of money. It's not anything special. The binding barely even stays together haha. I start at Parkland 0630 tomorrow! AAAAHHHH!!!! I hope I haven't forgotten...
Welcome! It's nice to meet you! I am about to go into my 2nd semester at ECC. I think you will be fine with your current support courses. As long as you at least have A&PII complete, I think you...
