I'm taking the MDIA1206 course at BCIT, and although I already know much of what is being taught in this course, it's a great opportunity to learn a lot of basic principles in more depth. For instance, for our early assignments we are only allowed to use a limited subset of HTML tags in order to create our web pages. This forces us to find creative use for these tags in order to make our pages look attractive.

• #1 - Your resume with only a few HTML tags and no CSS
• #2 - Starter page with a few more tags and colours
• Test - My own conversion of assignment 2 to CSS
• #3 - Add a few pages
• #4 - Adding images (no CSS or tables yet)
• #5 - Add tables
• #6- Add media, and you can now use CSS

The challenge with MDIA 1206 was that you were very limited with the tags you were allowed to use with each assignment. It wasn't until assignment 6 that we were allowed to use CSS and HTML as we would like.

This class was a lot of fun and we had a lot of discussions in it, much thanks to our course instructor, Bonnie.

Post note: 1 year on in this series of courses, and I've found that NONE of the followup courses had the classroom interaction like we did in Bonnie's course. She set a high water mark.

My final mark for this course was 89%. I could have done better had I spent more time validating my assignments and staying within the assignment guidelines.
