e-Text and end-of-chapter problems

[Robert Zellmer]

People have been having some trouble finding the end-of-chapter (EOC)
problems in the e-Text.  Here's some steps which might help (using ch 13
as my example).

1)  Get into the e-Text (duh, that's the easy part).

2)  Click on Contents.

3)  Click on chapter 13.  It expands to show the sections.

4)  Click on "Summary: Properties of Solutions" at the bottom.
      That brings up the "Chapter Summary and Key Terms".
      Click on the ">" to the right and it takes you to "Learning
      Outcomes".  Read these when you finish each section.

5)  Click on the ">" to the right and it takes you to "Key Equations".

6)  Click on the ">" to the right and finally you get to the end-of-chapter
      (EOC) exercises.  The "Visualizing Concepts" are mostly conceptual
      problems.  At the end of each question it tells you which section you
      need to have read to answer the question.

      At this point just scroll down to get to the other questions. 
You'll then
      see problems listed for the various sections.  You'll see the 
section headings
      and section numbers.  These generally correspond one-to-one with the
      sections.  Every now and then they'll combine a couple of sections 
into
      one section of homework (as is done for sections 13.2 and 13.3).  They
      usually do this when one section is really short and closely 
related to
      another.  When this happens there's generally 2-6 problems 
covering the
      short section.  If the short section comes first you'll know when 
you've
      finished them because you'll get a question which you can't answer
      based on that section.  For instance, in the section covering 13.2 
and 13.3
      the first 4 questions cover section 13.2 (saturated solutions and 
solubility).
      Then the rest of the questions deal with section 13.3.

      While you don't see this in the eText, the problems in these numbered
      sections come in pairs.  13.13 and 13.14 cover the same concept from
      section 13.1.  These companion problems may look the same with
      different numbers or might be worded slightly differently but are 
covering
      the same concept.  If you can't do the one I've assigned and need help
      from someone, the internet or the solutions manual, do the other one
      to reinforce the help you just got.

      You want to work a section at a time.  Analyze the section and then do
      the homework.

7)  Click on the ">" to the right and you get to "Additional Exercises".
      These aren't necessarily harder but they don't tell you which section
      they're from, although they are in the order of the sections.

8)  Click on the ">" to the right and you get to "Integrative Exercises".
      These are more challenging.  They are comprehensive questions
      covering several concepts from the chapter and maybe previous
      chapters (including those from 1210).  If you can do these it means
      you really understand the material.

That's pretty much it on how to access the EOC exercises for each chapter.
