PowerPoint Presentations for FCS 1450 Because of time limitations, the lecture notes only cover the issues I think are most important. The textbook has more information. Most of the quiz questions will be on topics covered by the lecture notes. However, I encourage you to read all of the textbook because it provides a lot of detailed information that will benefit you. At the end of each weekly PowerPoint presentation I have an assignment page. Although I will not grade the assignments, working through them will benefit you enormously, both in terms of doing well on your exams and in your financial future. For the questions in the assignment that have a standard answer key, I will put the answer key on a different part of the course website. If you would like me to give you feedback on the questions that don't have a standard answer, please feel free to email your answers to me. Click the printer-friendly PDF files if you want to print the presentations. The printable PDF files have six slides per page. However, I was not able to include speaker notes in these files because of software limitations. Also, Internet links do not work in the PDF files. |
