Welcome to One Month JavaScript!

Lesson Notes
Transcript

One Month JavaScript offers a series of video and projects that can transform anyone—even a total beginner—into a JavaScript developer. Let's start here! Keep watching for a quick summary of what to expect from the course and to get familiar with the One Month method of teaching.

Expectations for the course

Homework:

All homework challenges can be posted on the discussion board for feedback from peers and the TA team.
Put 2-3 hours on your calendar each week. (all at once, or even better split among 2 or 3 days).

Your Grade:

For each assignment, you will receive a grade of 20 points
Your total grade is 20 points (x 4 assignment) + 20 points for participation, helping other students, AND watching all the videos. If you do that, you will graduate and earn your JavaScript certification.

- Hello, how's it goin'?

My name's Chris and you are in the right place.

This is where you need to be right now.

We're here at One Month, I am the Dean

and a fellow teacher here at One Month.

And all you need to know right now

is that you're in the right place

and two pieces of information that you can do

right now, to get your brain prepped

for the upcoming class.

So, two things, number one,

oops, I use this hand,

get in Slack, number one.

Slack is our communication channel

where we will be chatting.

If we get stuck, we can get unstuck

by helping each other out.

They'll be other students taking the course

at the same exact time as you.

The announcements for the new videos

will be launched there.

Slack, Slack, Slack is where you want to be.

So get in that, you should have received an email.

Get on it, okay.

Second this is, just gettin' your brain ready

for some expectations of what's in a One Month course.

Here's how it works.

The course is going to start on a Monday

and you will get an assignment on that Monday

and the following Sunday, your homework will be due.

So you'll have one week, in your own time,

to watch the videos, do the project and submit the homework.

You submit the homework each week

and you will get a grade out of 20 points

and personalized feedback on how you're doin',

that's what's gonna come back every week

if you do the project.

You do that for four weeks,

building a project every single week

and by the end, if you get through it all,

you get a certificate that you can share

on your LinkedIn wall with future employers, all that jazz.

It's gonna be good stuff.

So those are the expectations,

put some time on the calendar,

about two to three hours every week.

You can do that all in one big chunk

or you can kind of, 15 minutes a day, whatever,

maybe 15, 30 minutes a day, whatever it needs

but that's what you need to know getting ready for this.

So Slack, gettin' your brain ready for doin' some work.

I'm not gonna say this is gonna be easy

but it's gonna be really rewarding.

We're gonna help you succeed and make some awesome stuff.

So welcome to One Month and I'll see you in Slack, peace.
