Podcasting
I must say that every weak it gets much easier to do the assignments. This week the only problem I encountered was that my computer saves the file in wmp format which is not allowed on podcasting website. It took me an hour to figure out how to concert it to mp3 file. Pretty much I have downloaded the program I googled that converts most files to mp3 format.
Then I had no trouble and I was able to download my audio file.
This week I have given a lecture on physical chemistry. I gave a practice problem. Went over a few definitons such as P stands for pressure, T stands for temperature. I gave a problem that involvs working with gasses, simple adiobatic process. I chose to do that lecture because I had a problem that was worked out in my notes, and also to enjoy the relief that it is over, and that I do not have to take it over again. Last semester out of 48 students passed the class. Now of the remaining 21 students the average on the last exam was a 22. I do not think that more than 15 will end up passing, the class is a nightmare. If anyone wants to learn more about p-chem I am giving you a link here to my former instructor. Kasner's home page

I wonder which program you used to record the audio file. Typically, you can choose the format that you save it to. Google is great - way to figure it out by googling for a solution.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have been able to understand Chemistry a little better if my teacher had used podcasts. I still have nightmares figuring out moles.
