Advice for the Newbies

For the in-coming Essential class, the main piece of advice I could give for new students is the importance of paying attention to the in-class lectures. Dr. Belisle will cover everything you need to know in order to complete every single out-of-class assignment. Keeping up with the nightly assignments is really important as well. Stay on top of it, and the class is informative and very doable.

Favorite Sites

I thought Raelle's website was very well done. She used color in interesting ways and her choice of font was simple and effective. The plethora of pictures is well appointed throughout the site as well, great job!

Ashley's site is excellent as well. I love her choices of backgrounds. While each page has a different feel, they still flow together stylistically. Her choice of font is interesting, and she uses the full available space of her website effectively.

The main thing I appreciate about Matt's website is that it is elegantly simple and free-flowing. Blue was a good choice for the background, and the entire site feels very clean and orderly. I was horrifically shocked by how fantastic everyone's websites were, this class has a fantastic sense of design.
