The table below contains a tentative schedule for this semester and is updated weekly to correspond to topics covered in class.  Underlined text in the table are links to Word files of the corresponding project, test, or textbook section class notes. 

Please note that I use MathType for all equations in my Word files.  Sometimes, parts of these equations will not look correct if you do not have MathType's corresponding fonts on your computer.  You can download a free, executable file containing the fonts from their website.  Click here to go to their font installer web page.  While the web page asks for an e-mail address, your e-mail address is not needed to download the fonts.

Save videos - I put this file together in 2007 to show students how to save the Flash videos to their computers. 

Class capture videos from 2007 - During the spring 2007 semester, I recorded all class meetings using Camtasia Studio.  This recording contains the audio from my lectures and classroom discussions and a video of what appeared on my Tablet PC screen.
