Thanks for enrolling in our course on Nematode Morphology. From this site you should be able to access course materials as they accumulate during the semester. If you have problems downloading material, or if there is something missing that you think should be here, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

f you have powerpoint viewer plug-ins, you should be able to view the course lecture/slide presentations directly in your web browser. If not, by clicking on the lecture title you should be able to use your browser to download the PowerPoint presentation files and view them on your local machines (or on the CTL computers). I've tried this for Netscape Navigator 4.6 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5 - but let me know if you run into any problems
