hi sam,

my course looks like the above overview - I have taught it before but am 
currently working on improving the materials - much of the folio has already 
been improved but still have more work to do on the other sections

I'll distribute it under a creative commons license as it is updated at my 
new tpg site see sig) - currently only the menu is in place, no point trying 
to follow the links

Like Sam, I'd be interested in seeing other ways in which this is taught too
