Whew. Finished grading finals in the nick of time - deadline for grade submission was 11:59 PM Tues, and I got mine in at 11:53. Now that that's over with, I'll get back to posting. Tomorrow. Tonight, I want to read a bit, have a cat sit on my lap, and get away from this computer. I am really, really tired of bad web pages at the moment.

There are reasons for having a textbook - a way to assign homework, a convenient set of notes... I do a lot with accessability, too. But the thing is, these people are not people who have ever even heard of W3C. Part of the point of the course is to even GET them to that point. They also need drilling in stuff like, remembering spaces between attributes. And no spaces next to their + signs when concatenating. And someone to carefully spell and explain "concatenate" to them. And deprecate. And heuristic. And algorithm. These are not people who can just read a set of standards and understand how to apply them. You're too much an accomplished geek already to understand the mindset of a terrified Theatre Arts or Kinesiology major :D
