This week we are working on the subject pages and so far have completed both Accountancy and DIT. Check them out and let me know what you think. We are almost finished, only Marketing needs to be updated.

Office Hours at Bartley 2008 are closed during the Fall Semester Break. Please call or email if you have any questions, etc during this time.

Take a look at Socialfunds.com and also at the Panamanian Stock Exchange.

I am taking some time and searching out broken links as well as adding new ones. Eventually the existing subject pages will change to the new format.

We are still working on this process as of 10/9/2006.
