Final Project

Podcast Notes and Recommendation

For this assignment, I want you to check the podcast page and watch a tour I give of a few chapters.  Take the notes you deem necessary in your log.  Also, give me feedback.  Would watching short screencasts and web tours be useful in the future.  For example: if I put together an overview of whaling in the 19th century to help you visualize the book, would that be useful?     Go to Podcasts Page.
