course Phys 202
This is the disk info submitted a second time, now that I have received my disks.
All courses except Mth 158:
Task: `q001a. Class notes, in lecture format with video clips, are distributed on the disks you purchased in the bookstore.
If you do not have your disks yet you will have to skip this instruction for now, and you will need to return to this exercise when you receive them. If that is the case you may close this assignment after first entering in the response area below a statement that you do not yet have the disks.
Otherwise run one of the disks for your course
1. Insert the disk you have selected into your drive. Open Windows Explorer and run the HTML file in the root folder (simply locate the file and double-click on it). That file will have a name like disk_1.htm or disk_2.htm, and will be one of very few files in the root folder, so you should be able to locate it easily enough.
The information on your disk was originally assembled for CD's, and your disk consists of a compilation of a number of CD's. The HTML file in the root folder will give you a list of the CDs collected on your disk.
2. When you run the HTML file you will either get a menu of Class Notes or a series of direct links to video clips.
If you get a menu of Class Notes, click on one of the links (#3 would be a good choice but any will do). Otherwise go to the instruction #4.
You will see a page containing notes. If you scroll down the page you will see links to video clips embedded within the notes.
Click on several of these links to see how they work.
4. If you got a series of direct links, click on one of them in order to see how they work. Click on several more so you will be familiar with the format of these video clips.
Describe what you did and what you saw.
Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line):
I opened the disk through my computer, clicked on the first link for disk one. After opening it there was a list of files and videos located on the cd. I clicked on fluids and thermodynamics and a video came up with a lesson about sound waves.
Task: `q002.See root folder file and information for a listing of the contents of each disk. You don't need to understand what you're seeing at this point; that will become clear when you begin your content assignments for the course.
Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line):
I looked at the root files menu for the disks and saw a list of the disks for my class.
Task: `q002.
Check the rest of your disks.
Each disk should be accessed by browsing to the disk and running the file whose name most closely matches the name of the disk, or the HTML file in the root folder of the DVD. Insert each disk in turn into your drive, browse to the appropriate file, and run it.
If all your disks work, indicate that they do. If you have trouble with any of them, or with these instructions, describe your problems in detail.
Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line):
I inserted both my DVDs and saw that both of them worked properly.
&#This looks good. Let me know if you have any questions. &#
