So far, the class is quite enjoyable! Class specifics are listed at the bottom. Dr. Seamands' books were personal favorites. The Stevens and Guder books have some new & challenging ideas and I'm looking forward to discussing them more.

Hey Robbie,
I'm a friend of Aaron's from BP 2006 class. Glad to hear your first year is going. It seems like some great content. I'll stop by to meet you when I'm on campus.
