Your Web Design Goals

The objective of this Post is to allow you to express to me your personal goals for this course. My hope is that by better understanding your expectations and goals for yourself in this course, I can focus the lessons and my approach to help you learn as much as possible. There are no wrong answers here. However, to get full credit for this assignment, you must address each of my questions or statements. Your comments must be numbered and in complete sentences with proper spelling and grammar. Hint: if you are not sure that you can fully answer all the questions below before the end of class, create a Word document to compose your answers and then copy-paste your answers into the comment box later.
