I’ve finished updating all of the podcast links and I’ve removed the old pages and the old script file.

All of the CHEM 1050 podcast links have been fixed/updated.

I’ve updated the podcast links for CHEM 1050 through chapter 5, CHEM 1090 through chapter 2, and CHEM 1100 through chapter 12.

I’ve been able to update the links for the podcasts in each course that cover the first exam. I discovered and fixed a number of bad download links in the CHEM 1050 section and I added some ogg files for in CHEM 1100 chapter 11.

I’ve changed the JavaScript code I previously wrote for the podcast pages using what I’ve learned over the past month while working on the lab resource pages. I did have a couple of days of agony trying to find a problem with Internet Explorer but I’ve been able to adjust for it (heavy medication along with primal scream therapy directed at Microsoft helped). There are warnings on each of the podcast pages for my three classes- CHEM 1050, CHEM 1090, and CHEM 1100. I don’t know how long it will take. Although it’s nothing major, I do have to change every single link because of the coding I did so it will take some time.

I’ll concentrate on the first section for each class so I can stay ahead of the students. My plan is to have the first section completed for each class by the first day of class.

I’ve uploaded the new documents for spring quarter for CHEM 1050, CHEM 1090, and CHEM 1100.

I also added a new lab resource for experiment 6 in CHEM 1100. I still need to add one more for experiment 5b.

There’s now a page for the gas law experiment, experiment 9. That one was interesting because I had to go and find a mathematical formula that describes the relationship between temperature and water vapor pressure. There was either the Antoine equation or the Wagner equation and I decided to go with the Wagner equation.

I also modified the statistics page for large and small numbers. If the magnitude of the average is larger than 10⁴ or smaller than 10^-4 then the results will be displayed using scientific notation.
