Additional Lesson Resources

Below are two additional resources to help you learn the material. The most important of these resources is the Lesson Notes, which we provide via a PDF (see link below). The Lesson Notes contain the important slides of the presentation. We strongly suggest you print out this PDF and  follow along during the presentations. Making notes on the slides about key concepts will help you cement the concepts in your mind at a quicker pace. We also provide a supplemental textbook for your review. Most students NEVER use the textbook in this course; however, it is here if you want to refer to a particular concept.
