Technical Notes: I have made this lecture available in Streaming Audio format. You can either play it directly from the Web, or download it in six different files onto your own Hard Drive. To do either one, you will need to download the FREE RealPlayer. (As of Fall 2013 the latest version is called ""RealPlayer Cloud Free".) If you already have an earlier version, they will work fine, too. You may already have it installed. NOTE: BE SURE to look for the link to the Free RealPlayer. This is the FREE one. It's somewhere on the RealPlayer Home Page (Fall 2013, it's at the upper right corner). Follow all the instructions carefully. It may ask you to download Google Chrome, or some other software. Do NOT do it (unless YOU want to do so -- we don't need it for this class). If you are using earphones -- highly recommended, and essential in the computer labs, which do not have any speakers -- plug them into the computer's sound card, NOT into the jack in the CD-Rom drive. Because, of course, you are not playing a CD-Rom. You'd be surprised how many people make this mistake. (If your CD-Rom drive doesn't have an earphone jack, that's fine -- this is one mistake you can't make, right?) You should download these rather large files. The playback will be smooth and uninterrupted, no matter how busy the Internet is. Download all 6 of them. You can delete them from your hard drive when the course is finished. |
Here are the DOWNLOAD links for the six files that make up the lecture.
PC Users: right-click on the following links to download. Note which folder you download the files to. You will need to know this when you play them back.
| TO PLAY BACK: In RealPlayer, use File-Open File, and browse to the file on your Hard Drive. |
Part One; Part Two; Part Three; Part Four; Part Five; Part Six.
Outline Price's argument carefully.
(Note that, with a Streaming Audio lecture, you can "pause", move backwards to replay, and do what you need to do in order to listen carefully and take good notes. Do this!)
Summarize his argument. Discuss two examples which Price uses as evidence.
Write 300-400 words. Email to me and to your group.
Come to class with one or two good questions/criticisms/comments about the lecture, which we can use for discussion.
