Old Podcasts

These are podcasts of the Contracts classes.  Professor Russell tries to remember to wear a mic and record the lectures.  He is not likely to remember to repeat what students in the class--who are not wearing microphones--say when they answer questions or otherwise contribute to the class discussion.  The best way to get the full benefit of being in class is to come to class!  These podcasts are the second-best thing to being in class.  Please understand that if anyone has a problem with the quality of these recordings, then Professor Russell will stop making them.
