| Tips for Success | · Plan your time – web projects are time consuming and technically involved. Plan at least five hours a week to spend in the computer lab or on your own computer. You will spend MORE time in the lab if you are not prepared to start on your project when you arrive – research, materials, sketches and site maps all need to be done before you arrive.· Work with a friend—two heads are better than one when you run into technical, conceptual or creative roadblocks.
· Save and save again. Back up your work in MULTIPLE locations. · Attend class – each week builds on the previous one. Missing class will severely impact your grade. · Ask for help when you have trouble – don’t allow yourself to get behind on new material. |
