Links
The following links are provided as a tool for you to use throughout the course. For some of the subjects we cover, I have found links which relate to the topic we're discussing. Use these links to help clarify questions you may have or gain better understand a particular subject you find interesting. Remember, this is only a partial list of what's available on the internet. Surf around a bit and if you find any other links you think are worthwhile or cool let me know what they are and I'll include them on this list!
