Gee, I didn't think that WAS my job.  Especially for THIS class.  I really don't think this particular group is going the engineering route ... heck, we're lucky if they graduate ... okay, I'm here at Hillcrest and I've just seen 5 of my former students making up credits.  (And were enrolled in that class -- yes, they passed it with me, but barely.)

Hey, I don't care what I teach (within parameters) as long as it's the same.  That's why I like the AP program.
