The purpose of this Electronic Instructor's Guide is to provide the instructors using my materials with information to assist them in effectively teaching. While most of the content is mine, I hope to be able to include ideas and suggestions from others who use my workbook. Each of the following MicroStation Modeler Workbook Lessons are zipped using PKzip (from PKWare) which should be downloaded into a convenient /temp directory. The file(s) should then be unzipped using Winzip6.0 or other appropriate software. The zipped files normally contain a PDF file which should be opened using Adobe Acrobat. This PDF formatted file may then be read on the screen or printed to a laser printer to produce a hard copy document. Most zipped files may also contain MicroStation design files which demonstrate model solutions for the instructor to analyze.

These files should be loaded into each student's directory. In addition, the zipped file contains a text file of instructions.   For your convenience, I am also providing links to the Bentley Academic Curriculum Material Home Page; the WinZip home page for a copy of WinZip to unzip my zipped files; the Adobe Home Page if you need to acquire a free copy of Adobe Acrobat (needed to view my PDF instructor's notes); E-mail addresses for myself and my publisher, Ben Watts at Stipes Publishing. Bentley Systems Academic Curriculum Materials Program - The Academic Curriculum Materials Program is designed to be a resource of easily accessible, on-line curriculum materials created for educators by educators. In addition to several modules that I have authored, complete versions of my The MicroStation 95 Workbook and MicroStation Modeler Workbook are available for viewing in PDF format and for downloading by instructors wishing to examine portions or all of the text. Adobe Acrobat Reader - My Instructor Guide Notes are created in a PDF file format. These notes should be downloaded to your computer and then viewed and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader software and instantly access my PDF files. WinZip - All of the files on my home page are compressed using PKZip. A very handy utility for manipulating these 'Zip' files is a product called WinZip. Here is a link to the WinZip home page which contains the software as well as directions for purchasing and downloading the utility. Contact Stipes Publishing - For information on all of my MicroStation and AutoCAD workbooks, please contact my publisher, Ben Watts.
