Lectures are posted to help you study for the midterm and final exams. As you will notice, only a few of the lectures are posted thus far. The lectures will be posted either before or after lecture. Dr. Griswold does not guarantee that all the lectures will be available before class. Sometimes it takes longer to prepare and they are not ready until right before class.
IMPORTANT: Reading through the lectures is NOT the same as ATTENDING CLASS! You MUST attend class to hear the explaination for the slides and the discussion with the students in the class! If you do not attend class you will miss CRITICAL information that will NOT be included on the slides.
