For me the course is over. At times I felt we would never make it through, and then the end leaped upon us. Depending on your strengths and interests you will find material to inspire, and some that will frustrate until you can get a grasp of it. The one constant throughout was a group of unquestionably intelligent and knowledgeable Instructors. Never be afraid to ask questions when you are struggling; they are there to help you learn.
It is a year packed with learning. The courses follow very quickly, one after the other, and the workload is not light. Don't be intimidated by this as all it means is that if you apply yourself you will make it through. After all, if I can make it through successfully then so can you.
I was lucky enough to go through with a wonderful collection of quirky, smart, and hard working fellow students who made the overall experience that much more enjoyable. Ours was a relatively small class, whose students were far too quiet for most of our instructors. We made it very hard for them to read our moods, or even know if we were alive some times. We didn't mean to make life difficult for them, we were just an unusually quiet group.
The ISSD course is an amazing introduction to the intricacies of the World Wide Web, and provides the building blocks to seek almost any Internet related employment available. My only small piece of advice would be to look for a job that involves the type of work you enjoy doing.
For me ISSD was exhilarating, and challenging, as well as an opportunity to meet some wonderful people. I wish you enjoyment, success and luck should you decide to take, or be taking the ISSD course.
