Movie Lectures contains lectures webcast live as either flash or windows movies. They appear exactly as they would in the classroom. Although some material is from prior courses, the content is extremely similar to the current version being taught. (When new or improved lectures are given, they will be added to this online collection). Studying this material is extremely helpful if you miss or do not understand something taught. NOTE: ignore any content that wasn't taught in your class; focus only on your course material.
