Many students have asked if they could use an alternate textbook of their choosing. Normally this would seem an odd request, but since I am not in the habit of assigning projects directly from a textbook, you can choose your own "companion" textbook for Dreamweaver. Keep in mind that I cannot be responsible for topics not discussed in the textbook of your choice. Also, if you choose not to buy a textbook at all, you will be completely dependent on my lectures.

This class is taught at a fast pace. The main goal of this class, and the approach, whether online or on campus, is to foster critical thinking. Less focus is placed on following step-by-step indtructions in a textbook. The textbook is for outside reading and is meant to compliment the in-class lectures. Please check the college calendar for important dates such as drops and withdrawals. The links above, in blue color, will give details on textbook, course pre-requisites and course description.
