I promise you two things:
- I will never assign "busy work." This course could be a year long and we'd only begin to scratch the surface of this subject, so I don't have the TIME to assign busy work. Even if I'm out sick, the work you have assigned will be meaningful and important.
- This course will be as exciting or as boring as you want it to be. The end product is a multi-page web site designed by you and filled with content you've made yourself. If you want it to be exciting, then make your site be about something that's exciting to you.
