For reading notes online: The screen images are organized by topic. When the screens become available you will be able to click on a topic title to go to individual lists of screens for those specific topics.

For taking notes during lecture: You can print out a full set of screens for each topic (with white space for taking notes) by downloading and printing the PDF files. These are usually available 1-2 days before the start of the topic during the lectures (see schedule). Click on the appropriate PDF logo to either begin downloading the PDF file or displaying it to your screen (depending on how your browser is set up and whether you have the Adobe Reader Plug-in installed in your browser):

--this file has three screens per printed page:

--this file has one screen per printed page. You may be able to direct your printer driver to reformat your printer output to squeeze as many on one page as you like (1, 2, 4, 6, etc. per page):

You will need to have Adobe Reader® in order to view and print the PDF files.

Movies included with the screens require QuickTime or Adobe Shockwave Player plug-ins. Most browsers support Shockwave with sufficient RAM, but Netscape Navigator before v.2.0.2 may not play QuickTime movies on-line. In this case, Navigator will download the QuickTime movie to your hard disk, where you will need a movie player application.

Get the Shockwave player from Adobe.

Get the QuickTime player by going to Apple Computer's QuickTime site.
