I am having trouble with some course materials.

For the initial problem sets, none of the images at the bottom of the solution are loading. I see a little torn paper icon indicating a broken image.

@&

On Set 1, the images for problems 4 and 5 are the same as for problem 6.

I've checked the entire set of Introductory Problems (all 9 sets) and unless I've missed something these are the only bad links.

If you have problems with any of the other links, please let me know and be sure to include the contents of the Address Box of your Internet browser at each step.

I wrote the system that randomly generates these problems, but the website has been moved from my office computer, where it was causing problems with that computer, to a VHCC network computer. That's working very well, but I no longer have direct access to edit that server. I'll try to access that next time I'm on campus and make what is in fact a simple correction to the path.

Also, I can't access any of the video clips on the list I find when I click on the GEN 1 CD link under lab/activity. When I click the titles indicating a clip number, it takes me to a page that says The system cannot find the file specified. The youtube links seem to work, but I can't tell whether these are the same clips, just a different way of getting to them, or if I need to view both. Also, since some of the topics (including most of the calculus clips) don't seem to have youtube link versions, I can't work through those topics.

@&

It appears that you have the disks.

If you run the disks using the PH1_DVD_01.htm file in the root folder of Disk 1, you'll find a link to the GEN1 files, and all the links should work from there. The links will not work from the Assignments Page.

That's something that needs to be made clear on the Assignments Page. I'll take care of that within the next day or two by linking the YouTube videos to these pages. I believe when I uploaded the disks, I concentrated on linking the Class Notes and might have overlooked these files as well as some others. However if you have the disks, you should be able in the meantime to easily locate the necessary files by running the disk from the previously-mentioned program.
