Description

Every week, you will be assigned video tutorial(s) on Lynda.com. Completed Lynda tutorials will be graded pass/fail (based on the quality of your submission). Parkland provides free access to Lynda.com for all current students.

Note: Credit will be given each week only if your assignment is uploaded to Cobra's dropboxes on time.

Procedure
  1. Login to your Lynda.com account every week from my.parkland.edu or Lynda.com
  2. View the playlist for this class, download the exercise file(s) and do the tutorial(s) for the week (see schedule below)
  3. Submit the required files using Cobra's Dropbox every Tuesday by 11:30pm
  4. When appropriate, also publish the in-progress web-ready tutorial file(s) and make a link from your Process Page (tip: be sure to duplicate each week's root folder if your tutorial is a continuation from last week).
  5. Optional: For extra credit, choose a video to watch from "Productivity Tips for Web Designers" or "CSS Shorts Weekly" on lynda.com. Summarize what you learned in the "Lynda Extra Credit Discussions" forum. Maximum extra credit: one extra video per week.
