Request for comments by PB (14/1/00)
Dear Mike,
Our thanks to you for agreeing to comment on the web material that we have released so far for this year's students. Obviously as it is the first year, we still are still working on future material, and most of the more interactive bits are still to come.
In order to review the material, I will have to explain a few things first:

  1. The main homepage for the course is http://pd.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/pd/welcome.htm
  2. The main course index for the academic year 1999/2000 is http://pd.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/pd/index99.htm which can be reached from any page by clicking on the course icon
  3. It is important to view the material "as the student would see it" so you need to start from the bottom of the "Notice Board" http://pd.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/pd/enrol99/notice.htm and work up the list from the bottom of the board. The reason for this is that the guidance notes to the students are given here.
  4. We get everyone to complete the license form (2nd item from bottom of the notice board), reviewers included - so this is not aimed specifically at you. This then triggers the mechanism for the generation of the password which you need to access the course material (and most of the items on the notice board).
Also since only a fraction of the material is available, you will probably need to look at the syllabus/timetable in order to have some idea of the material that is still to come.
In order to help we have provided reviewers with a Pro-forma questionnaire (attached). Please don't feel that you have to stick to it, but you may find it useful. Also feel free to add any comments, especially from the point of view of someone who may be taking the course as an industrial student. (Question 7 is not-applicable at this stage since preparation of the project is still in progress.)
Regards, Paul (& Jeremy)

Dear Paul
I have had a look through the timetable and syllabus and my impression here is of a very thorough and professional course. I wish I had had one like this when I was a student.
regards
Mike
