    Content/Overall Organization

    General Suggestions/Comments:
    • I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing this module. Not only was it well organized and interactive, there were also very few errors.
    • Excellent use of the glossary!
    • The application pages are appropriately used in this module to show examples of how the topic is related to real world situations. However, the pages look very blank with only links to sites. Could you please include a small paragraph about each of the links on each of the application pages? I believe this will give the user more of an idea about where they're about to visit as well as liven up the look of the application pages.
    • Throughout the module there are several graphics that are in motion. I suggest that a button activates these as the moving graphics may be distracting to the user.
    • I was very impressed by the References page.

     

    Page-Specific Suggestions:

    • Several questions need to be followed by a link to an answer.

    Use of Alternate Media

    • Excellent use of outside websites and other references!

    HTML Programmer Notes

    • None

    Java Programmer Notes

    • The calculators for this module are absolutely incredible. They work correctly, are attractive to the eye, help the user's learning interactively, and help view several equations as related concepts. Excellent work!!

    Graphics Notes

    • The best graphics I've seen in a module so far have been in Vibrating Strings. Perhaps you could look through the module and find places to similarly include graphics.

    Platform/Browser-Specific Problems

    • None
