NOTE: We offer the class presentation in 2 formats: PowerPoint and PDF. The original creation was in PowerPoint. Because that file can require a long time to download and is not always fully compatible with every computer's software, we offer the alternative of a PDF file of the same material. It downloads rapidly and should be readily usable on all computer platforms. What is lost is (1) the animations sometimes provided in PowerPoint, and (2) the opportunity for you to edit the presentation easily to tailor it to any special needs you may have. Contact us if you have any questions or problems downloading the files.
