Class Structure

Our instructor provided a Structure/Syllabus for our 12 week class.  Thought I'd share so it gave you some idea of what we'll be covering and might help you think of possible questions.  I've already received a couple of questions from Gerry, so if there are more let me know.

We have a field trip the weekend of June 25.  Unfortunately that is also the same weekend I'll be in AC for Dave Matthews Band.  He said he'd figure something else out for me.  Also, we have off July 5th, so I guess it's really a 11 week class.
