Study Aids

The listing below contains links to the various presentation notes for the class lectures as well as links to resources that can supplement and enrich your understanding of the various topics covered in this class.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you download and print out the lecture notes PRIOR to attending or viewing the lectures. In doing so will you can have them on hand during the lectures allowing you to highlight any particular portions of each page that might be emphasized during the lectures so as to spend more time focusing on what is being discussed during the lecture presentations instead of trying to write everything down.

Also, the lecture supplements will effectively direct you toward most of the essential elements that you should be understanding from each of the lectures.
