Don't they teach structures in school anymore?

They do, but not enough about earthquakes and wind. I had an intern who told me they only took 1 (ONE!) structural class in the whole 4 years of her undergrad program. Curriculum is cheapened by this 4+2 mentality in my opinion. My undergrad program had 3, and a separate systems course, and a materials+methods course. I wish more time would be spent on those things (where it matters) instead of design studios where everything is ethereal made up BS. (Getting off the soapbox now.)
Glad for you chris that you are looking forward to SS. I loved the Thaddeus course, but I'm so ready to be done with this content.

Perhaps, but when I was in school the MArch had zero structures, it was all studio and theory.

Sounds like we went to the same school.

OK, then I strongly encourage you to find a basic course at your local JC or university. Face-to-face instruction over time is pretty important with this stuff.
