I took a module as part of my degree course last semester, entitled Web Design & Maintenance. There were two marked assignments for the module, an essay on website forms, and a complete XHTML Strict compliant website, that had to have a PHP contact form and js validation. I got my provisional grades for the two assignments yesterday, and the official grades are released on the 1st of March. I got 65% for the essay, which is a decent 2:1, and I think was marked fairly. The assignment asked that we use plenty of examples of bad web forms, and I struggled a bit there. I struggled because I left it late to start the essay, so it was my own fault.
I done much better on the website assignment, and got 82%, which is a great first. I also got some very good feedback, so I was well chuffed! We had to write some documentation to accompany the site, and I dropped a few points there, so I know for next time where to improve. I never could work out the weighting system of grades at uni, but I reckon I should get an overall first for the module. Blowing my own trumpet I know, but I'm stoked with the result, and it's made me even more determined to keep pressing on and learn more about web design
