    Content/Overall Organization

    • The overall layout and navigation of the module is exactly what is expected, and will prove to be very useful in user testing, and hopefully with further development of content.

    General Suggestions/Comments:

    • I suggest a creative opening page with graphics and a brief look into the module, as well as a summary page which concludes the entire module.
    • The metadata for this module is partially complete. In the near future please fill in all frames of the table.

    Page-Specific Suggestions:

    • The following pages need to be either developed or deleted:
      • Introduction
      • Unforced and Forced Physical System
      • Unforced Actual Dynamic Behavior
      • Unforced and Forced Physical Model
      • Unforced and Forced Analytical Solution
      • Laplace Transformation
      • Unforced and Forced Numerical Solution
      • Unforced and Forced Predicted Behavior
      • Unforced and Forced Comparison
      • Unforced and Forced Crib Sheet
    • Unforced and Forced Math Model: These pages are extremely lengthy. I suggest breaking each page into a few parts and including them in different categories in the top navigation bar.

    Use of Alternate Media

    • It is always a good idea to interact with outside sites.

    HTML Programmer Notes

    • Laplace Transformation: This page must be included in the sequential previous and next buttons of the side navigation bar.

    Java Programmer Notes

    • Applets would be a nice touch.

    Graphics Notes

    • Unforced and Forced Math Model: The graphics at the bottom of these pages do not appear.

    Platform/Browser-Specific Problems

    • Internet Explorer:
      • None
    • Netscape Navigator:
      • None
