Links to past, present, or confirmed future course materials. Please note, this page changes all the time. If there is something missing that you were expecting or hoping to see here, please send us some feedback. Many of these links point to a folder that requires a username and password.* Several of the earlier presentations are currently saved as powerpoint slide shows. They will open in the browser if you are running IE, otherwise they will prompt you to save. They do require powerpoint viewer, which you can download from here.

*** New-- Due to popular demand, we are going to be transitioning presentation file types away from powerpoint slides to PDF. Some listed items may actually come in both file type varieties until the transition is complete. We have also been asked to make them available in grayscale for ease of reading. That change has not been implemented yet. If you have a strong opinion either way, please send us some feedback.

If a presentation is not linked, please be patient. It either has not been presented yet, or it was presented so recently it hasn't been uploaded to the website. Feel free to use the feedback form and send us a request if we are not linking quickly enough.
