Physics 151: PreClass Lectures


Directions: Click on the link labeled "Access Lecture #" and a dialog box requesting the password will appear. After entering the case-sensitive password and clicking OK, another dialog box will appear asking whether you want to open the powerpoint in your browser or save it to your hard drive. It is probably better in general to save the file and then view it with Powerpoint, but you may not have that option in a public computer lab. You should only be trying to do this on a computer with a fast internet connection -- DSL at the least. If you do not have access to powerpoint, you may download the powerpoint viewer here.
