Your first assignment
is to go to the website Lab Experiments page, then touch the “Student Labs”
hotword to access the class list.
Touch your email link and send a message to yourself to confirm that the
link is correct. After you have
setup your public_html area for computer lab reporting, see below, similarly
check that the link works by the appropriate touch. Report any difficulties in a broadcast
email to the entire class.
At times some students
experience problems with RealPlayer not properly streaming the archived
lectures. Using Real11GOLD, others
successfully streamed the videos with all features operating. In select instances, a warning box comes
up stating the video will not load.
Simply touch “OK” and it will appear! To make sure this issue does not
compromise your ability to “get on board,” each student receives a DVD set
containing the entire lecture series, to be returned at the end of
semester. Those of you missing the
first class may obtain the archived lecture DVD set by contacting Mr. Kao Chua
in Perkins 320, directly adjacent to the CFD Laboratory. ASAP send him an email at [log in to unmask] to set up a time for this
exchange.
I use this Bellsouth email portal
