Paper Two for PAC 442 Section B

Hi everyone! This short podcast is about the second paper assignment for the PAC 442 class at UIS. Let me apologize in advance - I'm swamped at work, and I just don't have time to re-record this podcast. So this is actually something I recorded for the Fall 2005 class. The only significant change is the URL for the handouts (listed below) and the due date - which, of course, is now 5 May 2006 at noon CDT.

The handouts related to this assignment are linked from the main course website at:

Susan playing an Irish waltz

Hi everyone! Sorry for being late posting this, but here is a podcast with Susan playing her fiddle - an Irish waltz, in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Susan recorded this using Audioblogger.com - which really was designed for voice, not music - so the audio quality is not quite up to CD standards.
