Slides and Links for 483
Below are links to
slides and related sites of interests for the lectures as organized by
topic on the syllabus . There are some things I would like
to note here by way of cautionary notes:
The Lecture on Lecture Slides:
Lecture slides will be posted
as web pages on a weekly basis. The lectures slides (as well as
all linked material) are not required material, nor are they something
to which students should feel entitled. I make the effort to post
the slides solely as a supplementary study aid for your benefit.
Neither are slides an appropriate substitute for attending class.
Though I try to include a great deal on the slides, their content
does not exhaust the content of the lecture. While I will do my
best to help students access slides, I am not a technical support person
either by vocation or skill level.
Practical Suggestions For Slide and Link
Use:
If you are looking for a particular piece of
information in the slides, if you want quick access to slides, or if you
want to view the slides in context, I suggest that you access the index
page. The index page has thumbnails of each slide in order.
It downloads much quicker, and you can click on any thumbnail to see the
slide in normal size. Finally, the slides are saved as gif
pictures in the pages. This means that (1) the slides are smaller
than in lecture, (2) the slide quality is lower (size varies as well
with the resolution I am forced into to keep slide files small), and (3)
none of the animation effects will appear in the slides.
Fair
warning about the links, the links in this page are not to resources
that I have created or that I control. Nor are the opinions
expressed necessarily in agreement with my own.
