Video Discussions

Special software is required to use some of the files in this section: .mp, .mp4, .tex, and .zip.

At the end of each lesson, students completed feedback forms to comment on what worked and what was confusing during that lesson. At the start of the following lesson, I addressed these comments. In these video discussions, I have linked the lesson with its corresponding questions as a learning aid, even though I would not have been able to do so in real time. Due to technical difficulties, only a portion of lecture 1 is available for viewing; lecture 6 is missing except for the answers to lecture 6 questions generated in lecture 7.
