Lectures

The following titles link to the Powerpoint slides for the EPID160/EPID600 lectures from the last semester that Victor Schoenbach taught the course (fall 2017, online). The files include verbatim speaker notes. Many of the lectures were recorded live in an earlier semester (most in spring 2011), in front of the classroom course, but the Mediasite platform on which they resided was decommissioned years ago. Vic is inserting links to available alternative recordings as he locates them. So far he has located several recordings from 2002.

Please note - the slides are on Vic's epidemiolog.net website, so the URL's will begin with: www.epidemiolog.net/epid600/lectures/.
