PRESENTATIONS

Written and Narrated
by Edward J. Dodson

What follows are links to PowerPoint presentations I have developed for use in the classroom. These include the lessons for several complete courses as well as many lectures that stand alone or are part of a series. Separate copies of my accompanying lecture notes are also provided for some of the lectures. The notes can also be viewed in PowerPoint directly from the lecture presentations.

Narrated, video versions of most of the lectures and courses are available on my Youtube channel (search: "Edward J. Dodson")
