Sample Placement Work


These are the lecture slides that I was responsible for, as agreed upon with my group members for our placement.  This lab was quite confusing in terms of the extraction procedure that was being described in words in the lab manual.  
Keeping in mind the suggestions that was given to me back in our first survey; I decided that animating the entire procedure would be my best bet in making sure the procedure was clear enough. 

One of the slides detailing the procedure.  Note how the animation in the slides animate the order of which you should be placing your equipment, and how the picture shows the idea set-up you should be using for the experiment.


 Of course, I had to be a bit creative since animating on Powerpoint is not the easiest thing in the world so, through the creative use of the effects that are already on Powerpoint, I came up with what you see here.  These slides really illustrate how far we've gone in making Powerpoint slides since the first lecture.  
These slides were very, very heavy in the procedural details, while we gave them a brief overview of the theory that was part of the lab.  


One of the slides animating the confusing extraction procedure.  To make it more confusing, the procedure in the manual actually got the order to take out the layers is incorrect, thus the slides were doubly important in illustrating what you were supposed to do.

Needless to say, these slides were pretty effective.  After the lecture, a student came up to me just to tell me how much these slides helped her understand the lab more clearly and wanted to thank me for the work that we put into our slides.  I think that was the best compliment anyone could've given me and I was really touched and happy that someone acknowledged our work. 


Our only slide on refractive index.  Since the procedure is quite simple, but the theory is quite complicated, we gave them links to where the theory and instructions on how to take the refractive index.  But on the slides and during lecture, we only go into detail how to perform the procedure and what to expect.
