A note about Slideshare

• As I re-purpose this presentation I can upload the latest version of these slides at http://www.slideshare.net/vances/listening-exercises4gradebook

• When using Slideshare keep in mind that

– Links don’t work in the first 2-3 slides (a bug)

– Therefore, my first few slides are fillers(The links don’t matter if you’re already at Slideshare)
