What are Screencasts and Complete Lectures?

If absent from lecture, you may wish to watch and listen to the following screencasts (short video lectures) or complete lectures (longer but more thorough video lectures.) The daily lecture recordings are available via a podcast, YouTube and an RSS feed. Questions should always be directed to the instructor.
