About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ . This is the first course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on the marketable skills of styling the page with CSS3, adding interactivity with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with responsive design....

I am not satisfied with this course. The instructor doesn't seem to know what she is teaching. The annoying part is, as she talks she reads every word from the screen next to the camera. You can see her eyes rolling from left to right and her reading is poor and not fluent. She recorded the course unprepared. Sometimes she confuses the words. I think everyone can do that. I have seen online instructors who do not read text behind camera, they talk and code at the same time. Most of the time she recorded herself talking. I would not want to see her talking, I would want to see her screen, and some code as she explains. It would be better if she didn't show herself this much. it is hard to focus on what she is saying because you see the instructor sitting there and reading us the book or something.

In the past few years I have taken a number of HTML courses and I know the basics quite well. This is a 'beginner's course' but the final coding project was next to impossible to pass. There was a quiz that would allow you to pass the course without having your code correct. Although my code validated before I submitted it , I got it wrong on the quiz three times and it never did go through correctly!!. I did pass the course with a final grade of 94% but I don't feel confident in my coding ability at all. It would be fine if I had received some feedback showing where the problems were. Without it I have no idea what went wrong. Very frustrating.

I feel like this could be a good course if there was more cohesiveness. The instructor is great and i really do like her teaching style, but when teaching all of these new tags to absolute beginners, I feel like there needs to be a little more backstory and instruction. Most of all (especially for the final project), there needs to be some sort of thorough instruction on how to bring it all together. I did figure it out, but I did have to do it through outside sources, which I think defeats the purpose of this course. An absolute beginner knows nothing, and I don't feel like this course was for those with zero knowledge.

I would say a three, the reason is that It should of contained forms and a little more hands on training. Some examples of this would be to create some more small web pages, just to get the student more experienced in building pages and a couple of more peer reviews to get the students a bit more mastery of the subject. I think that it was great in that it started the students into learning how to check their work, to make sure it was accessible, and validation of the code. It was a good refresher and I am looking forward to the next class. Have a great day.

There are lots of typos in the course materials as well as and more critically in the final assignment review questions. For example, for Favorite Foods section, in order for the page to look right as expected by the instructor, you will need to use the unordered list. However, in the peer review criteria / question, it asks "was the ordered list used?" instead of "was the unordered list used?". Because of this incorrect peer assignment question, one of my reviewers took a point off. Please review your course materials and fix all typos!

While I was disappointed that HTML forms weren't discussed, this course provided very solid information. A lot of slide and code typos were distracting though and it felt like the instructor was talking less to me (and more reading from a hidden screen), which dampened the overall experience a bit. But the way the instructor explained the course material was very approachable and easy for a beginner like me to understand. After taking this course, I feel like I'm one step closer to thoroughly understanding HTML5.
