Concerns:
This site is an excellent site for students taking courses in Microelectromics. It introduces them to semiconductos technology in a manner that is both interesting and fun
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
The site should be used as a tool to explain and show the opreation of P-N junction in conjunction with lectures in the course. Easy to use in the classroom; could be used in self-paced study; easy to understand
Concerns:
Not closely tied with other modules through the use of hyperlinks, etc.; might be more effective with more detail
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
Very easy to understand and and work with. The animation and the ease of use makes it a good teaching tool.
