Alan, Looks pretty good over all.
When you have Course: Year: etc. at the top, that should be highlighted to some extent. Probably a h2 or h3 as shown in the guidelines. The confirmation screens you can just plug the relevant values into the sentence, like Click "Extend" to create a linked section in term "first" containing the students and instructors from Math 1 term "third." What happens if I don't select a section before clicking "link" in the last one? What would the user expect to happen? --Tom On Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 12:39 AM, Alan Elkner <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Guys, > > I attached some more screenshots reflecting the changes I made to the > section_linkage.html view as well as the three new views, two for > confirmation of extending and unlinking and one for the > link_existiing.html view.
