WHAT ARE THE MINI-MOVIES?

What are the mini-movies? The mini-movies are marked with a icon. They are are flash video files that contain a teaching presentation with an audio track. These were recorded in my office (not lecture) so they are short, but very dense. Movie controls are available so you can replay, pause, and skip sections. Because the mini-movies are Flash video files, it is important to have the latest version of Flash installed on your computer. Go to the following link to see if your Flash is working: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/  Here's another fun test of Flash -- can you get the ladybug to follow your mouse? http://www.dart-creations.com/images/stories/flash/4.swf
