An Introduction to StructuralGeology
http://astro.temple.edu/%7Edavatzes/Class/Class/Intro_to_Structural_Geology,_Temple_U,_CST4906.html
This site provides a general overview of what is taught in the structural geology course. In greater detail, this site describes what structural geology is, and what a structural geologist does with his knowledge. The information contained on this site is very relevant to students who are just starting a structural geology class as it provides valuable information of what to expect in the class and as a geologist.
Chapter By Chapter Overview for Structural Geology
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/martel/Courses/GG303/
A indexed website composed of the various chapters and key concepts for structural geology taught by credited professors. This site is an overview of all the major concepts and chapters covered in structural geology, from class lectures to labs. Within the site, major categories are labeled in bold, while a list of "links" with a description of its contents follow under the category heading.
Visual Aids for Structural Geology Students
http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/umrcourses/ge50/structural_geology.htm
A visual orientated website that contains descriptive pictures for most of the major geological formations covered in structural geology. The major focus on the diagrams contained on this site are "cutaway" drawings of various faults and geological structures. This site contains a long list of the descriptive pictures that are of high quality, clearly labeled, and easy to read so as to better understand the geological concepts.
Lecture Notes and Descriptions for Structural Geology Students
http://arrowsmith510.asu.edu/GLG510--Lectures.html
An organized website that contains information regarding lectures, labs, and main concepts covered in class. Divided into major categories such as, plate tectonics, major geological features in the United States, and visual explanations of the formation of these geological features. This site clearly labels each of major parts of the course that it covers and offers concise examples and lessons regarding advanced structural geology.
