I'm sorry, but you're upset that a bunch of teenagers aren't going to check your COLLEGE LEVEL WORK and make sure you did it okay? Honestly, Jess. That's ridiculous. This is real life. College prepares you for real life. And having us check your homework isn't going to help you. Make sure you did it right. Go over it. Don't expect us to.

Was that really needed?

Jess, sorry I missed this thread unfortunately I wouldn't have been much help anyway as we haven't covered any of this in my class. If you need any other help just shoot me a PM to point me to the thread and I'll see if I can help any.
