Note: While these tutorials will be helpful to everyone, they are primarily meant to fill in for students who do not yet have the text.
If you do indeed have the text, I recommend beginning to watch the DVD tutorials, concentrating on getting through sections 1 and 2.
Begin reading the Introduction, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2 in "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug. You should be able to get through this by Thursday morning, no problem.
