CI 5642 - Introduction to Web Design

For me, this class was exactly what the title says, "Introduction!" I had little, well, no experience with web design. We joked in the class that the only experience we had with HTML is back in the day when MySpace required you to paste a HTML code on your page to change the background! I grew a lot during this class and came to be comfortable with basic web design. Again, my success was completely because the professor, Dr. Erin Kirby, was so patient and encouraging. For instance in the very beginning of the class, she sensed that I was not "getting it," specifically where the web pages lived. So she reached out to me and offered to Skype and walk me through it. This was so incredibly helpful to get a good foundation for that class but also inspired me in my own teaching career to reach out to my students who are struggling and not just wait for them to ask for help.
