End-of-chapter problems in the e-Text

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 in this section.
7) Click on the ">" to the right to get to the next section of problems. 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.
