    DC Circuits

    Reviewed by Sangho Bok, Assistant Professor, Southern Utah University on 6/19/18

    Comprehensiveness rating: 5

    The book covers the traditional topics of DC circuit analysis with the basic circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Three modules are well-divided well with enough details in each module. It provides many examples with step-by-step solutions. Hyperlinks for external resource are included so that the interested readers can have an access to more information. This book seems good for the first semester DC circuit followed by AC circuit analysis. It is not sufficient for one semester DC/AC circuit analysis setting, though.

    Content Accuracy rating: 5

    The material for DC circuit analysis looks accurate and unbiased.

    Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

    The content is relevant to DC circuit analysis. Examples are easy to follow for student to understand the analysis.

    Clarity rating: 4

    The text is clear to understand. Problem sets at the end of each module would be useful for students to practice.

    Consistency rating: 5

    The terminology of the book is consistent. The framework looks natural and is similar to most books in the field.

    Modularity rating: 5

    The modules of the book look well-organized and the sub-modules are divided properly.

    Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 4

    The topics in DC circuit analysis are introduced in a proper order. It would be helpful to add a section in Appendix to introduce a basic concept of Multisim because the textbook uses Multisim for the circuit diagrams throughout the book.

    Interface rating: 4

    The book does not have a significant interface issue. Some of the texts in the figures looks smaller, though.

    Grammatical Errors rating: 5

    No grammatical error has been noticed.

    Cultural Relevance rating: 5

    There is no culturally insensitive or offensive content.

    Comments

    The book looks good as a textbook or a reference for DC circuit analysis. Utilizing the links throughout the book can be very useful for the readers to enhance their understanding.
