Thank-you for using
the FREE educational material on this website.
When we started publishing
these pages in 2003 some users emailed asking
for more detail about particular topics,
slightly different diagrams, help with homework
or projects and so on. We did our best to
send prompt and useful replies - though
we didn't do everyone's homework, obviously
!
As the scale of this
website has increased it is no-longer possible
for our staff to spend time writing to individual
students or teachers.
We appreciate your use of these pages so
we have created this page to answer as many
of your questions as we can.
Just in case we have
missed something we have also included a
form through which you can send any further
questions. This isn't a "ticket system"
through which you will receive a personal
response. However, if enough people ask
the same question we will look at adding
information about that next time we update
this page.
Thank-you for using the FREE educational material available
at IvyRose.co.uk .
This site now includes well over 5000 pages which are maintained
and updated regularly.
Due to the large scale of this
website and the huge and increasing number of users, we are
unable to respond to individual requests for help with homework,
finding answers to specific questions, and so on.
Instead, we have created this page of answers to some of
the types of questions we have been asked in the past.
If your question is not included below you may send it to
us via the form at the bottom of this page.
Although we don't enter into individual correspondence,
your questions and feedback are greatly appreciated and may
be used to update future versions of this page with additional
information - especially if requested by many users.
Questions & Answers:
About: Finding Information
Where are the IvyRose pages
about ... (specific topic) ?
Many users find the information they require on this website
directly via a search engine.
In case you are already using our pages but have not yet
found what you are looking for, here are some suggestions:
Try using the Search
Bars provided.
These are included at the top-right
and at the footer of this page and
also on all our Human Body pages.
How much do I really
need to know about ... ? We don't know:
If you are studying a course for an exam leading to a qualification
you should check the syllabus for details about the material
you are expected to know. If you do not have a copy of the
syllabus for your course, start by asking your teacher,
course leader, or college. As a general guide we include on some
pages a brief statement of the level of the material and
qualifications for which it may be appropriate, e.g. UK
GCE at AS and A2 Level. However, each examining board has
its own requirements, sometimes optional modules. There
are also international (non-UK) courses and qualifications
whose requirements we are unaware of.
About: Accuracy / Errors
Is there a mistake on this
page / diagram / explanation / spelling ? Unlikely, but not impossible:
These pages have been prepared carefully and checked thoroughly
by well-qualified writers. In addition, many have also been
live online for several years and viewed by many 100,000s
visitors, hence any typing or other errors have probably
been found and corrected. Also, please be aware that some
words may be spelt differently in British and American English
so websites will not necessarily use exactly the same spelling
as textbooks.
However, we are adding new material as fast as we can and
it is possible for the occasional error to slip through. Solution:
If you think there is a mistake on any of our pages please
tell us about it using either the buttons at the bottom
of the page itself (where available), or via the form below.
If there is an error we will fix it asap.
The information / diagram
on your page differs from an answer provided by my teacher.
Is your page correct ? I might have lost marks in my project
/ test / exam ... Trust your teacher !
This is not a common question but we found it so surprising
we included it here.
The diagrams and explanations on this website have been
very thoroughly checked for clarity and accuracy.
However, just because something is true does
not mean that it is the correct answer to any particular
question.
Depending on the actual question asked and the level of
detail expected in the answer, the diagrams and explanations
on these pages may, or may not, be appropriate or sufficient.
These pages are designed to help people learn about the
topics covered. In order to do well in any type of assessment
e.g. project work, tests, or exams, it is also important
to answer the specific question asked - in the way required.
Your teacher or course-leader is a better source of advice
about the requirements of your course than any general website
could be.
About: Use of Material on these Pages
Please note that although these webpages are free to view,
i.e. there is no need to pay, join, register, or login
to see them, our material, including text, images, photographs,
and diagrams is copyright (meaning that you may look at it
but not re-use it).
In the past we have been asked :
Please can you help me download
/ print / save the diagram / image on page ... of your website
? We are glad you have found
our website useful. Please understand and respect our copyright.
The content on our pages, especially diagrams/images/interactive
features etc. have taken considerable time, effort, and
expense to produce. Because we have done so, you and many
others (some of whom live in developing countries and
may not have access to textbooks) are able to access,
view, and learn from these pages without charge from us.
To enable this website to continue to be available and putting
resources into good quality, FREE to access, study material
online, please do not
re-use any parts of our pages. Thank-you.
If you are a student we recommend that you re-draw diagrams
yourself, which will also help to reinforce your learning.
If you would like to share with others information you have
found useful on our pages, please send them a link to view
the whole page for themselves. We have included AddThis
"Bookmark & Share"
buttons to the bottom of most of the study pages on this
website. These make it very easy for users to recommend
the page to others via a wide range of platforms incl. MySpace,
Facebook, StumbleUpon, Twitter, and many more.
About: Advertising
Please can I access a version
of your webpages without advertising on them? Probably not. More information
about this ...:
The vast majority of the pages on this website include some
constantly updating adverts and/or links to adverts.
This advertising may vary according to, e.g. user location
and time of day, and is targeted to be relevant to the subject
of each page. For example a page about bones might include
adverts for books about bones, model skeletons (as teaching
aids), nutritional supplements for bone conditions, treatments
for spinal injuries, etc.. If relevant adverts are not available
for a particular page/topic in a particular location then
the allocated area on that page may appear white/blank instead.
There are obviously considerable costs involved in making
this website constantly available to 10,000s users and continuing
to manage and update it. We are pleased to do so without
charge to website visitors - thanks to our valued advertisers
and our visitors' interest in advertiser websites.
We realise that it is sometimes possible to purchase access
to this type of service by paying a weekly, monthly, or
annual subscription to view the pages without advertising.
At the moment we are not offering such an option because
we find that overall the (limited) advertising on our study
pages enhances those pages by providing constantly
updating and relevant links to sources of further information.
I would like to advertise
my product / service / course / school on your pages. How
can I set that up ? Thank-you for your interest.
We do not accept/display advertising for certain types of
products/services that we consider incompatible with this
website or which may be inappropriate for some of our visitors.
Assuming the subject of your advertising campaign is acceptable,
there are several ways it can be set-up. In the first instance
you might choose to target this website or some specific
parts of it via your Google AdWords account. Alternatively,
please contact us directly with your specific requests re.
advertising per page/month.
I would like to report an
inappropriate advert I saw on one of your study pages. Thank-you !
We do our best to exclude all inappropriate adverts but
we manage 1000s webpages on this website alone. Also new
websites and advertising campaigns are launched all the
time so your help is appreciated. If you see anything disturbing
on any of our webpages please let us know which of our pages
you wish to report (that is, tell us the URL of our page
- as it appears in the address bar of your browser). Also
let us know the advertiser's website (which is usually
written in small pink text at the bottom of text adverts
or in small black and underlined text at the bottom of image
adverts). So far we haven't had any user reports of inappropriate
or offensive adverts but we have mentioned this to encourage
feedback if any do appear - so that we can block them right-away.
Thank-you.
