Searching the website
The Website search engine (below) will pull up a list
of pages from the BIO329 site containing the
text-string that you type in.
For example, if
you want to look for every instance of the word
"dermatitidis" throughout this website, you would type
that in the search field below and press "Start Search".
The engine will display a list of pages within the site that have
the closest matches.

What
are PDF files? Why do I need Acrobat?
PDF files,
represented on this site by the icon -
- are documents created using Adobe Acrobat.
These files are quickly becoming a standard both in
business and in academia. They are special
because they have been created using a specification
that allows them to appear the same no matter what
type of printer you print them out on, or type of
computer you view them. There are no issues with
formatting (pictures or text running off the screen)
because formatting is part of the file specification.
In order to view PDF
files, you need a program called the Adobe Acrobat
Reader on your computer. All campus computers
will already have this installed. If you have
Acrobat reader, when you click on PDF files, Acrobat
Reader will automatically open the document inside
your web browser window. If you do not have the
reader, you can obtain it at the Adobe site here.
How
do I navigate the website?
The site can be easily
navigated by using the menu tabs at the top of every
page. They are listed as "Home",
"Syllabus", "Lecture Topics", "Exams",
"Discussion", and
"Links". Clicking on them will take you to the
page listed. You will notice that some pages have submenus
that appear in the blue bar below the menu
tabs. Clicking on the individual selections in the menu bar
will take you to that specified page.
How
do I use the discussion board?
The discussion
board is a place for you to ask questions regarding
the class that might be confusing you, or to use as a
forum for dialog. Dr. Szaniszlo and the
TA/grader of the class will usually be available
through the board to answer your questions.
Click on the Discussion
tab at the top of the page to enter the discussion
board. You'll be presented with instructions on
how to post new messages (any questions or
comments you might have), respond to messages
(you might answer a colleague's question, or pose
further questions related to the first), or search
for messages (you can search the discussion board for
keywords used in a message). Each page within
the discussion web has short instructions on how to
operate it. If you have further problems or are
still confused about how to use the discussion board,
contact the website administrator
here.
