[Chicago] Failing Fast

[Randy Baxley]

I began the MIT class but found the instructors too dry and they keep
putting me to sleep so I took the U of Toronto class and am working through
the exercises on the Rice class on my own schedule.  Due to knowing the
material from working through Dr_Chucks web site on my own schedule it took
me a day and couple of mornings to work through his course.
