Below you will find links to the powerpoint lecture slides, the projected dates that we'll be covering the material, brief descriptions of the unit topics, and a few outside resources. Every year the rate of progression through the course material is a bit different (different students, different dynamics), so I typically need to modify my course content a bit. If we're moving through material rapidly, I'll add more examples, studies, etc. to the later units; if we're going through things more slowly, I'll modify my content appropriately.
