Peer Reviews
 

  • "I am mainly emailing you to compliment Gina Palacios on what I feel was the best workshop I have ever attended.  Gina crammed it full of great tips, showed us solid examples, and personally got me excited about further use of OLS.    She also presented social networking in a new and better light, and for the first time, I can see a productive use of Twitter!
    Many thanks to her for her solid presentation, enthusiasm, and great handout."

Student Reviews

 

  • "Something I really liked about this class is that although I felt a little advanced, I received a lot of technical information that may be rudimentary, but I never got as a design student. I really appreciate having hard copies of it all too. I have been keeping a binder of my best class handouts in my file cabinet since my first quarter, and I already added these :)"

  • "First of all, I'm so glad you pushed me to do a site for a real client. [...] I gained some much-needed confidence (and experience!) all the same. Also, your emails and blog comments were a big help."
    -Christi Veverica (Intermediate Scripting Languages 2011)
  • "In all honesty, you make me wish I wasn't graduating so I could take another one of your classes, hahah! And, I mean it! You have a well-paced class & good homework assignments.  I learned a lot of web stuff I never would have learned in a "Web Design for Designers" course.  It was nice having a web designer's aspect on designing websites (I know that probably doesn't make sense, but it's just really interesting to me.) "

  • "By the way . . I just found out I got the internship at Enviromedia. Thanks for sending that lead out!"

Client Reviews of Students

  • "That is a small token of what you and the class has done for our company. The new website is a giant step forward for us. [...] Everyone who sees it likes it. Caleb [student hired] is probably wishing he had not gotten the job. I've had him change the Annie site so many times."
    -Annie Coburn - The Suzy Guides (Intermediate Scripting Languages 2010)
