I just received my evaluation for Project 1 in the Front End Web Dev nanodegree program, almost exactly two weeks after submitting it. And the result...
According to the evaluation, I did exactly what was expected. I thought I had gone beyond by actually including all six projects for the nanodegree on my portfolio page, but compared to many other submissions, I really didn't do a lot more than was required. Some of the students are VERY talented, and did a wonderful job exceeding expectations.
I'm still happy that I passed before v.2 of the project was required. I didn't find Bootstrap to be necessary, since I could get flexbox to do everything I needed. I do see the reason for teaching Bootstrap, and I can think of several projects at work that could benefit from the framework. It just seemed to be more than what was required, to make my page work.
Passing this project evaluation has been the highlight of the day, since I'm a little under the weather today. But at the same time, it compels me to really put extra effort into project 2. I have it completed, and matching the way the version in the class looks. Hopefully I will feel better later this week, and can add my own spin to the project.
I think that is a good thing to remember about these classes: get the project to look and work like it is supposed to, then add details to make it stand out after.
