Note: students will start learning about sedimentation in class on 03/12. Goal is to sedimentation content published to master on textbook before then.

Rough timeline:

• By 2/1: include all content from powerpoint and lectures (thru sed tank as circuit), and update variable naming
• By 2/13: include all figures, tables, and plots as needed

Send to @monroews for review 2/13 - 2/19 (?) to avoid merge conflict issues

• By 2/24: work on separating information into different files, adding cross-references and links
• By 3/1: finish organization, linking, and proofreading
• By 3/8: publish to master and send to TA's to ask for review
• By 3/10: figure out how to best get feedback from TAs, students, to update website

• [x] I think the resistance example is great but it is a bit confusing when you dont know what the parts mean so maybe only do it at the end or go into a bit of detail of what each thing means first
  • I moved the section to after the brief introduction of the parts of the tank and the video
• [x] In the influent channel sections, the questions make it hard to read because they are every sentence, a few questions are good, but when it is every sentence it distracts from the information
  • I removed a few of the questions and changed the structure slightly
• [x] If we have a real picture of a diffuser I think that would be helpful because the photos are grainy
  • Yes, good call. I included pictures of a real diffuser
• [x] In the jet reverser section it, there are two many photos that are kind of similar, i would choose 3-4 that really convey your point and then move the rest to an appendix
  • I moved one of the photos to an appendix, and I made clear which ones are videos because there are a few useful animations that I didn't make clear before.
