The Powerpoint presentations that I use in class are
uploaded each afternoon after class. Sometimes I forget. If
you need to access a presentation, and I have not posted it yet, please
email me.
Depending on
your browser, you may view them on-line or download them and view them
using Powerpoint. Please keep in mind that these figures act as a
jumping off point for teaching and discussing in class, and there may
be information that was discussed in class that did not have an
accompanying figure. Click on the dates to access the
presentation.
