Faculty Feedback

I was a bit surprised when I began presenting my project to the faculty. I didn't feel as if I was being viewed as just a student, but also as a peer. I may not be entirely fond of my overall experience with Shepherd University, but I can say this: The Communications and New Media Department is amazing! Anyways, onto my feedback.

The interesting and complex nature of my project makes it a bit hard to explain. I did not just make a website, but I created a Content Management System from scratch, and I built a website within it. I learned an immense amount of new methods for handling dynamic content. My feedback I felt was very positive, and it helped me when I was creating my display board.

My project is really hard to explain to anyone outside the field of Web Design and Development or Programming. This was very apparent when I was presenting to two of the three faculty members. So, when I was creating the design and writing the content for my display board, I made sure to define terms and include a diagram of the way PHP on the server side to deliver content to the web browser.

I have almost finished my display board, and I will be sure to upload photos when it is finished!
