For your convenience, the MS PowerPoint notes have been provided in PDF format; some of these may be used during course meetings.  You may download the files to use as a reference as you study.

You are responsible for the material discussed during course meetings:  in-class notes are posted on the Notes page on the Canvas course site with a summary for each course meeting.  It is your responsibility to review the class notes and read the posted summary after each course meeting.
