Fourteen and a half questions with the Aernis.
I recently sat down with Stephanie Aerni and Matt Aerni, and asked seven point two-five questions each. these two are two of the best teachers in teaching history , both in whom are very comical but serious when it comes to academics. With highly superb teaching methods, students have a lot of fun learning. My experiences with the Aernis, both in class and in this interview, has always been a quality time.
