Hi Everyone,

If you use the recordings from the dropbox, soon you'll notice a few changes. I got a new recorder and I think it will be a big improvement:

-The format will be mp3 (instead of wma). This is usable on any mp3 player, including many cell phones.
-The volume will be louder and and the sound quality will be clearer.

-If you use Quicktime Player, now you'll be able to fast forward simply by dragging the bar.
This is very useful if you miss a small part in middle of a lecture. During the lecture, you can jot down what time it was, and later you can fast forward directly to that part. For example, if the part you missed was at 10:05, you'll just drag the bar to 35 minutes into the recording, because all the recordings start at 9:30. This makes it much easier and faster.

-(As usual, www.dropbox.com/ username chemistr...@gmail.com/ password nyu@ws. Please do not give it out.)

Also, thanks to everyone who made the Google doc for the lecture notes such a success. Thanks to Jay for the work and improvements. Jay suggested that we include the figure numbers in the document. Most of the diagrams that are shown during lecture are from our textbook, and the figure number is shown on the upper left corner of the screen. If anyone has them recorded and can add them to the document, it would be great. Also, if anyone has the clicker quuestions, that would be helpful too.

If you prefer to use the document without adding to it, that's perfect too.

All the future lectures will also be at this URL, because they're all posted as one continuous document.
