About MIS49A
As we increasingly live in a digital age, the university graduate is no longer expected to only write a resume. Job websites often ask for applicants' websites. Graduate and postgraduate research is shared and collaborated on the internet. Artists are expected to have an online portfolio that exhibit their work.
In consideration of this outlook, the goal of MIS49A is to teach students to design and code a website in 13 weeks without any computer programming prerequisite.
