               ==================================
                           README File
               ==================================

This file contains important information--please read all of it.

1. Hardware/Software Requirements
---------------
    486 or higher IBM compatible computer
    4 MB RAM
    1.44 MB Diskette Drive
    Hard disk with 26 MB of free disk space
    Color VGA (or SVGA) monitor
    Windows 3.X or Windows 95
    Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 or 7.0, or 
    Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer (included)

2. Installation
---------------
 If you currently have Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 or higher, 
skip the installation of the PowerPoint Viewer.

To install Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer:
   1. Start Windows.
   2. Choose File | Run from the Program Manager.
   3. Place the PowerPoint Viewer disk (not the presentation data disk)
      in the appropriate disk drive.
   4. Type A:VSETUP (or B:VSETUP if you're using drive B) 
      and choose OK.  The PowerPoint Viewer Setup dialog box 
      appears.
   5. If you want to change the directory in which the Viewer
      will be installed, type the directory's name in the 
      Install To box.  Choose OK.

 The presentation graphics files are self-extracting, compressed
 files (PKZIP).  You can install the presentation graphics files
 by using Windows File Manager.  
 
 To install the presentation files using File Manager:
   1. Insert a SFMUME presentation graphics disk in your
      A drive.
   2. Change to the A drive to see the files on the disk.
   3. Double click on the compressed file (*.EXE) to extract 
      the PowerPoint file from the compressed file.  You will
      be prompted for the drive and directory where you want
      the file to be installed.
   4. The PowerPoint file (*.PPT) is now available for use.
  
3. Running a Slide Show in Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer
---------------
   1. Start Windows.
   2. Double-click the PowerPoint Viewer icon in the Program 
      Manager.  The PowerPoint Viewer dialog box appears.
   3. In the directory box, select the directory where the 
      presentation graphics files are stored.
   4. Select the presentation graphic file (e.g., CHAP01.PPT) you 
      want to show, and then choose Show.  The Viewer opens, and 
      the slide show begins.
   5. To advance slides during the slide show, press the Space Bar
      or click the left mouse button.  To reverse direction to go
      back one slide, press the Backspace key or click the right
      mouse button.

4. Running a Slide Show in Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0
---------------
   1. Start Windows.
   2. Double-click the PowerPoint icon in the Program 
      Manager.  PowerPoint loads.
   3. From the File menu, choose Open. 
      The Open dialog box appears.
   4. In the directory box, select the directory where the 
      presentation graphics files are stored.
   5. Select the presentation graphics file (e.g., CHAP01.PPT) 
      you want to show, and then choose OK.  
      The file opens in PowerPoint.
   6. From the View menu, choose Slide Show.
      The Slide Show dialog appears.
   7. Under Slides, choose which slides you want to present.
      Choose All unless you didn't finish a lecture.
   8. Choose Show.  The presentation begins.
   9. To advance slides during the slide show, press the Space Bar
      or click the left mouse button.  To reverse direction to go
      back one slide, press the Backspace key or click the right
      mouse button.

5. Printing Slides, Outlines, Speaker's Notes, Handouts
   (PowerPoint 4.0 or higher ONLY)
---------------
   1. Double-click the PowerPoint icon in the Program Manager 
      to start PowerPoint.
   2. From the File menu in PowerPoint, choose Print.
      The Print dialog box appears.
   3. Select what you want to print.  Although there are many
      choices, select one of the following:
      a. Slides (Without Builds) - prints one slide per page on
         paper or overhead transparencies. 
      b. Notes Pages - prints your speaker's notes pages.  The 
         pages will print one miniature slide per page with a
         large lined space.  You can add hand-written notes
         to use while giving your lecture.
      c. Handouts (3 slides per page) - prints three slides per
         page.
      d. Outline View - prints your outline according to how
         your outline appears on-screen in Outline View.
   4. Choose the following additional options:
      a. Print Hidden Slides (if active) - do NOT select this 
         option.  Many hidden slides are "build" slides.
      b. Black & White - best printing of slides, lecture
         notes, outlines, and handouts in black and white.   

6. Helpful Hints
---------------
   1. There are 1,400 total slides in the lecture presentation.
      In the Student Lecture Notes, available from Prentice-Hall, 
      there are about 820.  Printing transparencies or handouts 
      is not feasible with this many slides.  Have the students 
      buy the Student Lecture Notes if you want students to have 
      handouts.  Also, the Notes have been optimized to obtain 
      the best print quality.
   2. If you decide to add slides or create your own
      presentation, similar to this one, plan on spending
      about 30 minutes per slide.
   3. You will need about 20-30 slides for a typical 80-minute
      lecture if you go at a moderate pace. Your actual time
      will depend upon many factors: number of in-class
      exercises ('Thinking Challenges'), amount of time you
      give students to solve the exercises, your lecture speed,
      the number of student questions, topic difficulty etc.
   4. The number of slides per chapter in the Student Lecture 
      Notes are:
      Chap. 1  (46)      Chap.  6  (50)       Chap. 11  (108)
      Chap. 2  (61)      Chap.  7  (67)       Chap. 12   (65)
      Chap. 3  (43)      Chap.  8  (74)       Chap. 13   (64)
      Chap. 4  (79)      Chap.  9  (45)       
      Chap. 5  (65)      Chap. 10  (50)       
   5. Several in-class exercises require data to be collected
      or tables to be filled in.  You can write on the screen
      in PowerPoint but this is very difficult to do unless
      you're just drawing lines.  Therefore, have a black-
      board, overhead projector, or flip-chart available at 
      the front of the class.  
   6. The 'Thinking Challenges' are in-class exercises.  For
      pedagogical reasons they occur about ever 20 minutes.
      At the bottom of the slide is a set of arrows labeled
      Alone-Group-Class.  This is a reminder to try this 
      approach: Give the students several minutes to work ALONE
      on the problem.  Then students will work in GROUPS on 
      the problem for several minutes.  For simple problems
      form groups of two.  One student will explain to the
      other student how the solution was obtained.  The other
      will just listen, ask questions or provide hints.  You
      want to avoid, 'I got 12. What did you get?' '12 also.'
      For more complex problems involving open-ended or
      opinion questions, have students form groups of 3-4.
      After several minutes of group work, discuss the problem
      as a CLASS.  Try the approach; it works well.
   7. When giving your lecture, you may want to skip a topic.
      Press the [ESC] key to stop the presentation.
      Go into slide sorter (the button with 4 boxes in the 
      bottom left of the screen), and scroll to the slide you
      want to go to.  Click on the slide you want. Then click
      on the screen show button (also bottom left of screen) 
      to begin.  Another option is to delete the slides you 
      don't want.  However, if you're using the Student 
      Lecture Notes, the page count will be incorrect and 
      students may get confused as to where you are.
