What to Expect from this WebCast Lecture eCourse

On-line Lecture Video: Course video lectures are pre-posted. If the lecture is not available check the "Discussion" area for an explanation. Audio/Video quality improves with the speed of your Internet connection.  We recommend DSL, Cable-Modem, T1 or better. A 56Kbps modem will work, but you will have to be patient with the quality of delivery. 

Technical Difficulties: When a course depends heavily on technology there will likely be some technical difficulties throughout the semester. We encourage you to bring any and all problems you experience to the attention of your instructor, Greg Möller who can then pass them on to his technical staff for evaluation. 

Navigation: Use the Lectures link on the left hand menu to access each lecture. Each Lecture link will open a new portal window which encompasses all activities relevant to that lecture.
Course Case Study and Graduate Review Paper information can be found under the Resources link.

MS Word: Microsoft Word 97+ will be required to complete the exams for this course. A short tutorial on Word Drawing tools is available. Tutorial
