Ponder
If you are in a synchronous course (face to face or remote), then the ponder content will be discussed in class. If you are asynchronous (online) then ask your instructor about a weekly lab time where this can be discussed, or you should use these as additional resources in your personal or team study.
- What is JS?
- Practice with JS Variables
