design1 & design2 – final reflections and HTML/CSS Knowledge survey

Topics

  • Looking back on the course and your understanding of HTML/ CSS fundamentals;
  • Considering the week-to-week assignments: tutorials, problem sets, and ‘for the blog’ prompts;
  • Comfort level with translating a piece of 2D design – image, type, shape – to code, using box models, html skeletons with css strategies in mind;
  • Considering how you’re managing without face-to-face iteraction;
  • Describing what would be helpful to improve your experience in the course.

Tutorials / Problem Set

There are no new tutorials or problem sets for this final. You should review your work completed and submitted by looking at each week’s tutorials, problem sets, and blog prompts from the schedule. If there is work you’d like to still complete and submit you have until Friday May 24.

For the blog

As a final post for this course, please look back at your work and experiences in the class and respond to the any of the topics above in a reflective essay. If you’d like to write about HTML/CSS and what is difficult and/or interesting, please do! Have a perspective on how the work for the course is organized: tutorials, problem sets, writing prompts, write about that. And if you have thoughts about using Discord and/or the Commons for a course blog, let me know that as well.

Finally I have an anonymous survey I ask all web development 1 and 2 students to complete. It helps me better understand how you think you’re doing trying to learn to write HTML/CSS and design in general. Also it allows to see if there is a progression in your understanding of these languages from course to course. If you have questions about it please let me know.
