I took an Intro to HTML class (through a different site) back in the fall, and while it has given me a good background and basic understanding that has helped me in starting this course, I feel that this course already has provided me with so much more information just in understanding the history of HTML, etc. The class I took last semester was not nearly as thorough and was often times confusing, so I really appreciate the quality of this course I'm taking with you now! The communication feels effortless and the reading assignments and exercises are easy to understand and follow--something that is particularly important when taking an online class that covers so much in-depth information! I look forward to learning more as the course goes on. --Lauren

Thank you again. --Tatiana
The course material is very good and easy to follow. It provides lots of details. I liked the reference charts and links to demos and examples. The resources list is extensive and also very useful to more in-depth research. The exercises helped prepare me for the assignments. Prompt support from the course instructor was a significant factor toward my success. --Lyse
I'm enjoying the program... Having fun with it and learning lots. --Terry
