Lecture Notes

These notes are intended to aid your notetaking in class.  Some of the definitions are written out for you, but a great deal of the material will require active listening and additional notetaking.  The intention here is to prevent so much writing that you don't have time to listen, yet provide enough writing so that you can stay focused and not drift away :-)  The topics are presented in order with the first lecture listed right below.  These are PowerPoint files which can be viewed, saved and/or printed for your use from any computer lab on campus.  If you are not familiar with PowerPoint, there is a short introduction here provided by CSSCR.  If you don't have access to PowerPoint from your personal computer and prefer to access the notes from that location, one option is to download FREE PowerPoint viewer software.  This allows you to see and print PowerPoint files, but does not allow you to create your own PowerPoint slides.  To go to Microsoft's website of downloadable software, click here.    You can also go straight to the PowerPoint viewer.  It didn't work for me the first time I tried it, but might for you (click here).
