Hi Students, I have some important thoughts to share with all of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So… I just turned in the final grades. You all pulled off what I didn\u2019t think was possible under the circumstances. I\u2019m completely blown away. A little bit nervous too, and really touched by all of the kind words that you\u2019ve been sending me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I made the decision to make this class entirely point-based, and not so much on the skills assessment level. I\u2019d considered my few experiences with teaching Interactive Media I and II and with all that\u2019s going on in the world (pandemic, civic uprising, locusts), decided let\u2019s just do points. If you turn it in, you get the points. I expected a range of point values, there always is. My experience has been, even if I throw points at you (let\u2019s pretend points are bouquets), about half of you won\u2019t catch them. Turns out, you all caught most of them. Holy moly! Most of you did more than you needed to! The grade range was B, A- and A. If there was an A+ available many of you would have gotten one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a little nervous they\u2019re going to look at my grades and go, \u201cwut???\u201d So do me a favor<\/strong>, if you\u2019re asked, please start reciting html\/css\/javascript at the person to show them how much I taught you!!!! Or something\u2026 I don\u2019t know what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BUT on a more serious note. I didn\u2019t hound you on requirements for your projects and many of them are not near a state of completion. My requirement as your teacher is that you complete 2 projects, one of them portfolio-worthy. So MY REAL FAVOR<\/strong> is this. PLEASE<\/strong> work on your favorite of the two projects, fix it, clean it up, polish it, make it pretty, it\u2019s going to end up in your portfolio. OK? And when you do, send me the link. And feel free to ask me advice on fixing things. Your projects are my investment too, you know? I teach because I love to see people make cool stuff, and I want to help.
OK, more videos coming tonight and maybe the last few tomorrow. Getting them out to you one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for all being so awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
