I found a great source of free lectures of these subjects:
http://web.gsm.uci.edu/~navarro/download.htm
The first section, Principles of Economics, is an audio book (about 8 hours long) encompassing both Macro- and Microeconomics. Section 3 and 4 are PowerPoint lectures, which can be downloaded and run as slideshows; from what I can tell these essentially have the same information as the audio book, so downloading the huge files isn't necessary.
I know most folks on this site want to study the notes here and get the exam over with, but this is a great supplemental resource.

Wow, that is so nice of you to say! I guess we are all thankful when we find helpful information and want to do the same for others to benefit from. I think that's what we all contribute here!

I probably speak for a number of " mature" instantcert users who suddenly find ourselves going back and finishing college and surprised by that circumstance. The help that exists on this web site makes some of our apprehensions go away. I am thankful that we all can share our educational experiences and maybe keep on track with getting our degrees in a timely fashion and with as little weeping and gnashing of teeth as possible. Thanks again!

For anyone who will be using these Economics courses I listed above:
I started to listen to the audio book, and while it's easy to listen to and the author keeps you interested and isn't monotone, I found that when he was referring to graphs and models, I needed a visual. So I painstakingly downloaded all the ppt modules, and it's so much better.
