Khalil, can you actually specify what assignments these are? And exactly how are they "random"? I don't think you'll be able to do that, but try anyway? I'd be interested in reading your further amplification on this... provocative topic. ;p

It's not pointless, if you think about it. After all, the class isn't called "Learning HTML/CSS and Web Design" ... it's called "The Internet Classroom" for a reason, which is plainly articulated in its course description. Since this was your first choice course, clearly you DID read the description, yes?

Oh and yes, as Kass said... as far as ATDP classes go, TIC is among the "easiest" when it comes to homework. (I suppose you wouldn't know this since this is your first time at ATDP—welcome! And I hope you keep returning for future summers... just be aware that if or when you take more 'rigorous' academic courses, you won't be having nearly as much fun as in TIC. heh.)

Oh, and didn't you consider that it might just be a tad insulting to your instructors that you deem their assignments irrelevant? Think twice before posting, like you do before speaking. (Or, at least, I hope that's what you do with your verbal/oral communications ::chuckle::)

Good thing you brought up that question, though... others in the class may well be thinking that also, but didn't have the cheek to mention it. ;p Honesty and a critical faculty are good... just be prepared to back up what you say with rigorous logic, and unimpeachable facts. (Politeness in communication is also desirable; this aspect is kinda under-appreciated, when it comes to online communications nowadays.)

Sorry, I dont think I was very clear about that; by custom made I meant something you made from scratch, as opposed to taken from somewhere else and then edited.

This is the only lab assignment that isn't due by the next class session, since we can't expect everyone to have Photoshop at home. It should be completed during in class work time or free time by Friday though.

:O Everyone is welcome to to bother me if they have photoshop questions.

Speaking of EYE CANDY, btw, this new layout is very very very very very boxy @__@

It's a very attractive boxy, though! Look at those drop shadows! And the subtle 1px padding for avatars!

Well, just wait until CSS3 is fully supported everywhere. Then we can do rounded corners and make even more fun of Web 2.0 than we already do.

(that is CSS3, right? >_>; )

Nothing is irrelevent to the internet >__> The point of TIC is to get to know your classmates and make friendships that last outside the walls of the classroom. The reasons TIC is such an awesome class is that you can connect with the people around you. Notice how many alumni come back just to hang around. You guys are lucky. TIC is one of the best courses you could have picked. Name any other class that holds competitions for free ice cream and provides so many TAs for your benefit at any time. And you get to play frisbee and soccer during break. On a field next to a cafe. You have to admit, you have a lot of fun during TIC.

Now who was it who said something about too much homework? I could say a LOT of things here...but I'll just mention that you should probably take a language or an AP course next summer. Just to compare.
