HTML Web Design - Welcome to class!

Welcome to my HTML / Web Design class! I am confident you will enjoy learning web-development skills, and end the course well-equipped for designing and publishing creative web-sites.

This class is highly hands-on and project based. Quizzes and tests will be based off the specific skills learned and applied in class. The format for learning will be tutorial based. The concepts learned in class will be applied to a web-site project that is due at the end of the semester.

I am requiring daily blog entries as a means for ingraining concepts learned in class. These will be short entries describing the concept/skill learned and how it was applied in your homework assignment.

Grading Policy (revised)
