Revised 28 April 2007	Kite's Teaching Web Page Address: http://www.geo.wvu.edu/~kite/teaching.html	Where to Find Updates of this File: http://www.geo.wvu.edu/~kite/LectureSchedule321.html

Fall 2002 notes are also available on e-reserve at this address: http://ereserves.lib.wvu.edu/ The instructor name is "kite" and password is 321. You will need Adobe Reader to view these files. Each lecture is available as a large .pdf file and in several segments that will download more quickly. I will continue to update the less-printer friendly notes on my web site, but because of the effort required of library staffers the e-reserve lectures will not be altered unless there is a significant modification over the old class.

Common problems on schedule links: If you discover a link that does not work, pause the cursor on the link to view the link address. Commonly the name of the file is correct, but the file location is wrong. The most common error has been a link that reads "file:///G:/WWW/..." If you suspect this is the case, enter the following in the address bar: http://www.geo.wvu.edu/~kite/... followed immedidately by the name of the file... i.e. everything after the last "/" in whatever link appears.
