On-line Resource Site

This web-site is designed to supplement the teaching of module THER205.
It contains copies of the lecture material (OHP's), tutorial questions and model answers.
To access each of the files, simply click on the underlined links.

It is intended that students will access this site to assist in preparation for lecture sessions or for clarifying notes following lectures. Access to this published material is not intended to be a substitute for lecture or tutorial attendance - valuable explanations and worked examples are not included within this site.

A copy of the tutorial questions for any topic may seen by clicking on the link next to the topic heading.
Your ability, confidence and understanding in the subject matter of this module will be greatly enhanced by your conscientious efforts in answering the tutorial questions. Solutions are provided (click on answers) to help you with your approach to the problems, but it is stressed that little benefit will be gained in viewing the solutions until the problems have been thoroughly attempted.

Some links to internet sites of relevance are also included. These do not form part of required reading for this course but are included for your interest, and as possible resources for your assessed work.

If you are accessing this site via a dial-up modem - some of the files are quite large and will take a long time to download!
