Advice (...last blog entry)

To anyone taking CS1300 in the future:

  • pay attention and follow along in class (it helps tremendously)
  • do the homework assignments (yes, all of them)
  • don't miss class (you get behind really quickly)
This is a fun and low-stress class as long as you are willing to put in the effort. Good luck!

Student Websites

These were my top 3 favorite student websites:

  1. Katy Silva - I absolutely loved the layout, background, color combo, etc. It looked very professional, but also very visually appealing.
  2. Laura Husband - There's a really nice contrast between the black and white checkered backgrounds and the yellow font. It's simple, yet very tastefully designed.
  3. Katie Whittaker - The layout wasn't complicated or difficult to navigate, and the pictures used are awesome (very vivid and clear, and with appropriate subject matter).
...but everyone else did a great job as well! It's really cool to see the variety in design preferences when clicking through the websites, because no two are the same.
