Lecture+PowerPoints+2011

Lecture Powerpoints
The lecture powerpoints have been numbered by progression of skills and not according to "weeks". This will allow assessments to be placed without disrupting the progression of lectures. However, if you change placement of assessment tasks you will have to edit lecture powerpoints that have made reference to assessment information. toc
