General Stuff About the Website
The site was constructed using "frames." The frame to the left contains the links to various items of interest.
Clicking on one makes it appear in the right frame (where this text is).
The left frame can be moved over by dragging the border between left and
right frames to the left. This is sometimes useful for viewing wider items
in the right frame.
Some parts of the site require a
plugin called "Chime" for viewing molecules in 3-D. The computers on campus
have this feature installed. To use this feature at home, go to the Chime
website and download and install the plugin (it's free!). If you click
on "On Line Tutorials" at left, there is a button that will take you to
the Chime website.
The practice tests require your
browser to handle JavaScript, which is a programming language used here
for calculating your mark on the test and giving hints when asked. Most
browsers can do this, but with some you must "turn on" the JavaScript feature.
Whenever you have a question about
chemistry or web stuff, e-mail me by clicking on "Contact Bob" at
the top. No
question is too small - don't be shy.
Viewing or Printing Lecture Notes
1. If you have PowerPoint at home, you can download the lecture (in
color) and view it or print it out off-line. When the download is complete, start up PowerPoint and
open the lecture file. From there, you can view or print the lecture (click
on 'file', then 'print', and select the options such as printing in black
and white, printing more than one slide per page, etc.) The computers in the
students labs at Carleton have PowerPoint installed on them.
2. You can download a free copy of PowerPoint viewer (which is what
is used during the lectures) and use it to view a downloaded lecture file.
Note that you can not print the lecture using the viewer. Go to this
site for the viewer, choose the one for your system, download it and
install it according to Microsoft's instructions.
