Faculty Resources -- Jim Link

"Prof Link was great! He's definitely experienced in the web design field and
he explained the online reading chapters (no textbook!)/HW each lecture.
I typically finished the HW in class. The lectures were humorous yet so
informative. He simplifies everything so well. I would take any class he's
teaching for sure!" -- A student in the Fall 2017 Web Design I class
-
"I really appreciate your effort. It's fun to watch you teach.
Your enjoyment spills over into the class." -- A student in the Spring
2011 Web Design I class
- "What I like best about your course is the way you reward
extra points. You are one of a few teachers who have set up
what I call a positive reward system and tied it into the grades.
I believe it encourages some students to expand on what you do
and also helps you to learn new stuff, occasionally, from your
students. Which I view as a win-win situation. You are very unique
in this regard." -- A student in the Fall 2010 JavaScript class

"To whom do I owe credit for teaching me my best web design skill?
"Well, that would be Jim Link of Richland College who was (and is)
tireless in his efforts to teach his students and who is always there
for them, even years after they have taken his classes. Jim taught
me my most valuable web design asset: ColdFusion Programming. Without
ColdFusion, which allows a web designer to integrate a database
with a web site, I would not have landed many of the high-profile
sites I have been fortunate to work on. Thanks Jim! I award you
'Teacher of the Millennium' Award." -- A student in the Spring 2001
ColdFusion class*
(*And note that PHP does the same kinds of things that ColdFusion does! We
will be teaching PHP and MySQL again in the Spring semester of 2020. -- Jim Link)
