Dr. Adels has offered BUSA 205 Personal Finance the last two January intersessions, and she is planning to offer it again this year. I see the need for a personal finance class during the semester to give the learning opportunity to more stu- dents, but the College is providing students with the opportunity to learn personal finance skills. The college is providing “freedom” to the students; sometimes, we just have to use the course search on myGCC to find it. -Daniel Landskroener, junior
