DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Before you begin:

This presentation has been prepared for use with Microsoft PowerPoint 97 or higher. If you do not have PowerPoint 97 or higher installed on you computer, you may install PowerPoint Viewer, which is provided on this web-site. The viewer requires Microsoft Windows 95 or higher. Other versions of viewers are available free from Microsoft and may be downloaded from their Web site www.msn.com. .

To view a presentation:

To open the presentation, first chooe the version of the textbook that you are using (the chapter enumeration changes with the book) and then click on the chapter you wish to view. If you have correctly installed the PowerPoint Viewer, the applet will launch and the PowerPoint will appear within the browser window.

Alternatively, you can download the powerpoint to your desktop using the <right-click> "save-target as" dialouge. If you do this, clicking on the file will launch the ppt viewer itself and allow for you to click through the sequence of slides (though you may need to tell the application to "begin slideshow" through the pull-down menus).

If you own PowerPoint 97, 2000, or 2002 (XP) then the application may launch (instead of the viewer) and you will need to tell the application to "begin slideshow" through the pull-down menus). It is recommended that you make sure to have both (at least) a 4.x browser and the ppt viewer installed.

Navigation:

After the ppt viewer begins, and you see the slide in the window, changing from slide to slide is as simple as pressing the left mouse button or the "page-down" key on your keyboard. If you wish to return to the previous slide in the presentation, press the "page-up" key on your keyboard. This will take you backward slide by slide. Pressing the "page-down" key or the left mouse button will return you to the forward slide sequence. If you are viewing the presentation with the PowerPoint program (and not the viewer) and wish to return to the slide view, press the "Esc" key on your keyboard. If you are using only the viewer, pressing "Esc" ends the presentation.

Some Comments:

We encourage you (the instructor) to edit the slides as you will and suit them to the needs of your individual teaching style and content. Insert multimedia, questions at the end of logical instructional sets, and news-worthy events.

We encourage you (the student) to review your instuctor’s notes in the quiet of your own computer study / or college lab. Go through the slides one at a time, back up and review complex ideas, . . . even print out your instuctor’s notes ahead of class.
