True to its title, "An overview...", this is a good beginner course to introduce you to the various types of floodplains one can encounter in their professional career. The course contains enough information for the engineer to evaluate which type(s) he or she may want to investigate further.

I have always enjoyed Mr. Fantina's courses, Course 304, like many others of his, is always a great refresher, and more importantly, I learn new aspects of my field on which is extremely important as a professional engineer. Great job!

Overall good test. There is a problem with the test question 11. Although it is solved correctly on the answer key, the solution is not one of the multiple choice answers which leaves none of the above as the only answer. None of the above isn't an available selection and the next closest answer is marked wrong by the automatic test checker. So test question 11 is invalid because the actual answer is not provided in the available selection.

On page 16, I believe there is an error in one of the formulas. One of these formulas is incorrect.

Course is good. However you have a mistake with buoyancy calculations. The force of buoyance is not related to depth underwater. Also you have not considered the weight of the soil. You need to have the density of the soil (lbs/cu. ft) to determine the force downward of the soil. Please check it out and correct these errors.

The course was very comprehensive and offered lots of information!! The only question I have is why is the Hazen-Williams Excel Sheet provided for download? I never got to use it in the course. However, I used it in another course where the same spreadsheet was available for use.
That was an error on our end. It's corrected now.
