I saw the course listing for INP 270, Internet publishing III, at the Washtenaw Community college website:

http://www.wccnet.org/courses/course.php?course=INP%20270

You have to admit, it's pretty vague.

So, I e-mailed the Professor, Jason Withrow, and here's what he says about the class:

From :    "Jason Withrow"

Hi Amy,

INP 270 focuses primarily on the front-end (client-side) technologies.  
Everything is hand-coded and validated against XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

We start out with nested tables for page layout, touch briefly on nested 
framesets, then delve into CSS Levels 1 and 2, culminating in the creation of 
absolutely positioned CSS layouts.  After that we explore Javascript for 
image rollovers, cookies, and form data validation.  We also focus a lot of 
accessibility issues, as they apply to tables, frames, and forms.  There is a 
little bit of CGI via a perl script we work with, but that really isn't the 
focus of the class (CIS 265: Programming the Web is the perl class).

My INP 270 instructional site for this semester is at:
http://courses.wccnet.org/~jwithrow/inp270/index.html
We use either Homesite+ or HTML Kit in class as our coding software.  HTML 
Kit is nice because it is freeware when used under certain circumstances, 
which allows students to download it for personal use at home.  Honestly, 
students can use any text editor (e.g., Arachnophilia, Notepad, BBEdit if 
they are on the Mac) as long as they hand-code.

It sounds like you have a good background in web design.  Even students who 
are more experienced find the class to be of value, because if nothing else 
it helps to fill in some gaps in their knowledge and confronts them with some 
new challenges to solve.  So far (I have taught it now for 4 semesters) no 
one has said it is an easy class.  Generally their response is just the 
opposite, but they appreciate the challenge that the material presents.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.  Hopefully I'll see you 
in the spring/summer!

A much better description. In fact, downright intriguing. I'm planning to attend.
