Greg Dixon's Audio Lecture Archive

This page contains an archive of audio lectures from courses taught by Dr. Dixon at UWG.  Dr. Dixon teaches most courses in the “hybrid” model.  Most courses follow a model where lecture content is included online and class time is spent on discussion in a seminar format.  This is a work in progress as not all courses have been taught in this format yet, and the technology available to professors at UWG is still limited by budget constraints.  The semester in parentheses indicates when the course was last taught.  Future courses are included on the list, but will not have recordings until the courses are taught.

It is important to note that these lectures are meant to be listened to as part of a complete course that includes significant additional readings.  These lectures are NOT the equivalent of the course itself and in many cases may make only partial sense without reading the material for the course in question.  It should also be noted that these lectures and the course material are intended to contribute to discussions in the classroom and thus may present only one side of a complicated issue.  Syllabi are available upon request at gdixon@westga.edu.
