                  Note - the regular student pacakge at the bookstore only inludes 1 product key.

Course Notes
I will make every attempt to post lecture notes the night before they will be discussed in class.

It is suggest that you print out these notes and bring them to class.  The print option for 3 slides per page seems to work well for most students.


 
 
   

   

           

Note for cluster users:  Left clicking on the Power Point file link will open the slides in a web browser.  If you have trouble printing the slides from the web browser you can force the browser to download the file by holding the SHIFT key down while left clicking on the link. You can then open the file using Power Point.
Don't have PowerPoint on your machine?  Then install Microsoft's PowerPoint Viewer 2007
