Videos for Course

Watching the videos and reading the texts and outside readings are the major requirments for this course (assignments and tests also have to be submitted in a timely manner as well). For the videos, I have found the following four sources:

1 Watch or record and watch them from your cable TV. The schedule was sent to you with your packets (or can be picked up from the Community Campus LRC). The weekly program schedule was posted yesterday and is the next entry below this on the blog.

2 You can also check out the 3 video set, containing all of the broadcasts, from the Community Campus LRC. You must return these in the same condition or pay for them (no PCC grades will be given until videos are returned or damages are paid).

3 You can visit any PCC Library and check out the videos TO VIEW AT THE LIBRARY.

4 Go to www.learner.org on the internet and view the videos on your PC over the Internet. See below for more on viewing the videos over the Internet.

A student in last Fall's class discovered the Learner.Org site which contains numerous resources for students and teachers. The best way to access the videos used for the ECN 200 course is to click on the blue Telecourses button along the top of the page and then scroll down to the Economics U$A link. Each of the videos is listed and can be viewed by clicking the video button next to the one you wish to view.

This site does require you to register in order to view a video. But it is a one time free registration. I did a quick check of it and they are the same videos that are broadcast for the class. The only limitation is that, being video, you need broadband access for good viewing. If you have a dial-up connection, as I have, it is slow and difficult. If you do not have broadband at home I suggest that you go to any PCC computer lab or library to view them or visit a Tucson Pima Public library and use their computers (U of A students can also use U of A facilities).
