Lecture Recordings
We'll do our best to post audio recordings of the sessions here, within a week of the class - this is not meant for wide distribution, but just as a way for students to catch up if they miss a session or two. The recordings are in .mp3 format, so you should be able to play them on your computer, as well as in devices like iPods. It's probably best to download them, rather than play them directly in your browser. To do this, right-click (or control-click on a Mac!) on the links below, and select something like "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As... " or "Download Linked File."
