For those of you curious about how this whole podcasting thing is going to work, I have recorded a fifteen minute mini-lecture that you can try out prior to class. An important note--the lectures you will be listening to as part of this class were recorded by Prof. Nick Burnett. Your actual instructor however is Prof. John Williams along with your individual lab instructor.
Make a choice below from the three links to the same lecture.
Instructions for downloading the PowerPoint files In order to improve your ability to recognize concepts presented in the lectures, it is highly recommended that you download and print out the PowerPoint slides to accompany each lecture. These then serve as a ready-made study guide for the midterm exams.
Download the PowerPoint slides to accompany the sample lecture. I strongly suggest you listen to lectures with a copy of the PowerPoint slides for that particular lecture.
