Chem 395:Week of January 21, 2007

Wednesday, January 23rd

Welcome to SUNY Potsdam, and Chemistry 395, an online course on sustainable manufacturing. This page gives some suggestions for what you should be working on today. I'm glad to find out that some of you are enjoying the readings.

  • Please contact me and tell me when is the best day and time for an online discussion - preferably a weekday.
  • Assuming you've read the welcome page and syllabus, go on and familiarize yourself with the site by clicking around a bit. Content for later in the semester may be incomplete, but the basic infrastructure of the site should all be there to look at.
  • Order a copy of the textbook, if you haven't done so already. It is "Technology, Humans and Society: Towards a Sustainable World" by Richard C. Dorf, Academic Press, 2001. You can order it from the SUNY Potsdam bookstore (they have a used copy), or from Half.com (used), Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
  • Start learning how to use the wiki. The welcome page pretty much tells you what you need to do on that.
  • Create an account for yourself on the wiki.
  • Let me know what times are best for you to be online. That way we can arrange a suitable time for discussions, and (this week) for you to run through a tutorial.
  • Start reading the first unit.
