Day One
Today we were introduced to the course on as a whole, going over the syllabus and expectations. Some key points were that James prefers if we come and talk to him in person if we have questions instead of just sending an email. Also we are allowed five missed days before the potential to automatically fail the course starts. His idea behind this was that no matter what your excuse after missing that much class time you will not have learned enough to succeed. After all of the house keeping we talked a little bit about what will happen in the course. As far as I can tell there are two projects in the course. The first is to design an application with a partner and and the second is to design a website by yourself. I do not think that the website needs to actually function totally? I was not entirely sure about this. The last thing in class was a mini lecture. I learned what a Ui/Ux designers means after seeing it means times in the past and never bothering to look it up. It stands for user interface/ user experience, meaning that its a designer who focus on how the user interacts with a product. The most important take away from the lecture for me was that style comes second and the user comes first. I know that I tend to focus on style so this will be a challenge for me.
