Through this course, most of your content and learning will be gained through actually creating. Lecturing and readings are uncommon.
Sit with another student in the class. Talking about the work and/or issue can help you figure out solutions and make it easier to remember content.
Most of your grading comes from your efforts and attempts and what you learn through the process.
If you are trying to do well in the course and turn in your work, you can't fail.
Most learning is done through trying and experimenting. If you get everything right on the first time, you probably haven't learned much. Experiment, try things out, see what happens, and learn from it.
You can access class content anywhere. If you miss school or forget what we did, you can pull it up here at school, at home, and on most mobile devices.
A lot of content is presented through videos. This allows you to review things as many times as you need, as well as to work at your own pace.

Even middle schoolers can learn to code websites. This isn't to say that everything will work perfectly the first time you try it- you will likely encounter issues frequently. Even tech-savvy adults learning to code websites make mistakes. However, part of learning is dealing with and learning from those issues. Your grade is not affected by perfection, but primarily by effort to learn and perseverance even when frustrated.
Learn how to make websites that adapt and adjust to the size of your user's web browser. Through this, you can build websites that look one way on a phone, differently on a tablet, and differently on a desktop/laptop.
There's a myriad of reasons. Really, the question now days is almost why shouldn’t you learn web design?
Obviously, if you’re interested in being a web designer (it was in two of the three top ten job listings for 2014)...
But even if you aren’t, learning how web pages work can be a reward and enjoyable experience. If you are interested in Graphic Design- most graphic designers are expected to be capable in Web Design, as are most people who work in technology related fields. Even if you aren’t interested in a tech-related job, creating a web presence for yourself can be extremely beneficial. Why limit yourself to printed papers and reports? Prove you’re computer savvy in the process.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Even if students just learned how to build websites in school, they'd be much better prepared to work in the game industry.
