Lecture Notes • I’ll always post my PowerPoint slides • But, you’ll soon see that they… • Often suck • And, Sometimes we’ll just talk for 50 minutes, no formal lecture. • Speaking of talking..
Class Participation • The more you guys talk (i.e., contribute valuable questions and comments) during lecture, the happier I will be. • I will not take attendance, but I will take a count. • If you guys show up all the time • And, you talk • I will be happy.
