 This page is the source-of-truth for the entire course, so keep it bookmarked and check it often.
 There will be no Google Classroom; any information you need will be here, and announcements will be posted via good old fashioned email.

+If you ever have any questions about web development, feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:plupy44@gmail.com">plupy44@gmail.com</a> (bonus if you can figure out how I made that clickable...)

+Some parts of this course are intended to be self-study - you can always ask me for help about these, of course, but I recommend first checking out <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/">W3Schools</a>
+and <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/">Khan Academy</a>, because they have some pretty great resources for web development.

+<h2>Grading</h2>
+<p>
+This is a graded course! The weights are as follows:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Homeworks (14 I think - maybe 13?) - 35% total</li>
+<li>Exams (2) - 50% total</li>
+<li>Participation Activities - 15% total (this will be pop quizzes and such)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+If you want to know your grades, just email me - I'll also tell you your running grades after each exam.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that your grade doesn't matter too much. The real point of grading is so that <i>I</i> know how well you're doing - you shouldn't really
+assign much personal weight to the grades you get; they won't be on any permanent transcripts or anything.

+Don't use AI to do your assignments. You're here to learn web development, not to learn AI prompting. I will assign a 0 grade to any assignment
