exam. If you wish to print out the slides, they are available in a Point file entitled “Power Slides”. These recordings, and the related Power Point slides, have been included for the following reasons: 1. It gives you a feeling of being in class, complete with stories, examples, and comments. 2. You get to know your instructor on a more personal level 3. You get to hear explanations of topics that may be difficult to comprehend. Playing the video files: If you cannot play the videos, you need the ability to download and play .mp4 files. This software is available as a free download from the internet. I would search for “Download .mp4 and choose one you feel may be reputable. Windows Media player, Real files”, Player and Quick Time will all do that. Most computers (PC and Mac) come with this ability, and it is not a problem for most students. You “Do Remember?” questions: The videos have You questions to help you review the material “Do Remember?” immediately after it has been presented. If you cannot remember the answers to these questions, then is a good time to go back and immediately review them to reinforce your memory. These questions have also been duplicated in a Word document for each exam, and are in a file under the videos. Print these out and complete the answers “Start Here” when listening to the videos. You can then use these to study for the exams. Also, since the videos can be long, I suggest you take a break when you get to these questions. You can walk around, or get something to drink. This will reset your attention span, which will help you to refocus and start remembering the material again. A fun way to listen to the videos: Rather than listening to the videos alone, if you have friends in the course it may be more fun to get together with pizza and popcorn and listen to them (like going to the movies). Pause the tape at the You questions and discuss them among “Do Remember” yourselves to see if you understand them. This is also a good time to take a break before continuing. Power Point slides: The Power Point slides are not from the textbook, they have been made by your “canned” instructor specifically to help you with the exams, and are the same ones used in the class
