As I take a glance at some of the things to come in M150 I see some things that niggle me. With the onset of HTML5 I find myself shouting at some of the coursework. THAT'S DEPRECATED!!! Is how it usually goes! It's a little annoying that early in the course they talk about cohesive standards across the board for effective communication then throw out old HTML code. *shrugs*
I know this is an introductory course though so I'm suspending my judgement on it until I'm done. I won't pretend it's not annoying me.
Also I caught the tail end of a conversation my tutor was having with another student at the tute earlier this month and I'm sure she said one of the assessments can take the form of either an essay or a bit of javascript code.
That's a bit of a result I reckon. I wonder how far you're allowed to go with this as far as including things you've not yet been 'taught' by the course. I'm no javascript guru but I'm a little beyond "alert('hello world');" y'know? I'll need to have a look-see ahead and see what the task is, if it's available yet.
I Find Myself Shouting
