Microsoft Access Video Lectures

Following are links to videos of a CS101 instructor's in-class Access lectures. They are arranged in the order in which they're covered in class. The in-class videos are excellent for reviewing material, but aren't a substitute for class participation, where you can ask questions and work on in-class examples.

Note: There may be some time- and instructor-specific assignments and dates in the lectures (due dates, bonus point opportunities, homework assignments, etc.). These do not apply to your section and class; please see your instructor or your section-specific CS101 website for this information regarding your section.
