Month 8: Web Design Fundamentals

Web Design Fundamentals is a class that most students simply call "HTML" because that's what you learn... is HTML(5). Throughout the month, you are taught how to create a document that has semantic markup, the knowhow of when to use an element. For example, the diferences between a DIV tag, a SECTION, and an ARTICLE, or the differences between <i> and <em>.

Grades: Applied Design Tools and Interfaces

This class was definitely the most challenging class I've had to date. But it has also been one of the most fun. For those in an accelerated program, this month is paired with Principles of Production Process, another one of my favorites. Though, I wouldn't change the order I took them in, only because I feel PPP should be taken before WIU in any case. This month, I really pushed the concepts I've learned since my start at Full Sail. I haven't heard back from the teacher, however he gives out a Course Director's Award almost every month. I'm really hoping that I earned it.

One small note: As you can see, my professionalism is at 80%. I missed a day of class, and it docks your GPS (Global Professionalism Standards) points. It's a stupid system and should be disregarded. I communicated with the teacher the day I was absent and let him know what happened. This really needs to be looked at, but I digress. /endrant

Grades: Web Interface and Usability

Going through this entire month, I was always worried that I was going to do poorly in this class. I think that's more or less because the teacher was a little intimidating. I ended up doing very well, better than I thought. It's a shame that I didn't finish this project in time for ESPN to choose a design, but there was nothing else I could do. The scheduling wasn't in my favor. Maybe next time, it will be.

Grades: Principles of Production Process

Apologies. I've been forgetting to post the grades recently. I did exceptionally well in Principles of Production Process and was awarded a Course Director's Award. All I really have to say is that I'm happy with my grade. This class was great, and really helped to emphasize Full Sails motto, "Real World Education."
