Use the links above to download the PowerPoint presentations I will be using in lecture.

The notes provided here are meant to provide a framework for lectures. The lectures will cover things not fully described in the notes. Therefore, you should attend lectures and take your own notes. Obviously, simply reading the provided notes will not be a sufficient substitute for a missed lecture.

There is a risk that by presenting notes in this form I will inadvertently convey the mistaken impression that only those things that appear in the notes are testable. Anything discussed in lectures or the readings is testable, even if it does not appear in the notes.

I will not be handing out printed copies of the notes at the start of each lecture. I will, however, make the notes available to you on this page as downloadable PowerPoint presentations. I strongly recommend that you download and print the notes before each lecture and bring them with you to class. This will allow you to follow along and annotate the notes as you see fit during lecture. I will not wait for individuals to copy each slide into their notes by hand in its entirety.

In order to print the PowerPoint presentations, you will need access to a computer with PowerPoint (or the PowerPoint Viewer) installed. If your computer does not have this software (and you are unable to install it yourself for some reason), your best bet would be to use a computer in one of the public computer clusters on campus.

A single PowerPoint presentation will typically be used in several lectures. Above you will find links to the PowerPoint presentations currently available. For each presentation, you can see the date on which they were most recently posted (so you can tell if they’ve been updated) and the date(s) on which you’ll most likely need those notes for lecture.

The notes are also password protected in order to limit access to students enrolled in the class. You will be provided with a working username and password during lecture.
