These are text versions of the PowerPoint Slides presented during the course. Be forewarned, they are not a substitute for class attendance. They are meant to be an outline not a substitute for good notes. This is so that you don't have to copy down everything during class, especially names and terms. If you only study these outlines you will fail the exams as they do not cover everything. We won't put the Power Point slides online nor do we have any other notes for you to copy (if you miss class, get notes from another student).

Also be aware that A+, Class Notes, Einstein, etc are not substitutes for attendance and good notes either. The instructor is not involved with these organizations and does not base tests on them. If I feel really sneaky I will put questions on tests that these notes have wrong (they are never 100% accurate).

Please note that the Power Point outlines are always in development nd actual material covered in class may vary considerably as to content and/or order of occurrence!
