Project : Students
will be required create and publish a web site.
This site will be based on the sound principles of Web Design as
discussed in the classroom and constructed using HTML. The site must contain 6 to 10 pages,
displaying at least three levels of information ( to
be discussed later). There are 2
possible scenarios for the completion of this project: 1. The student may
choose to do a site for their own employer.
2. The student with permission
may choose their own content for this project.
A project proposal will be submitted and approved by the instructor (10%
of your total grade). The site will be
evaluated for cohesiveness, creativity, accessibility and design. This project is worth 30% of your total
grade for this course.
Homework : Homework
will be given to support the connection of the lecture material. Assignements will
be given in class and a due date assigned.
If you miss that class, it is the students
responsibility to get the assignments for that day. Homework will not be excepted late.
If you have to miss a class, to gain credit for the homework, you may
fax it, email it, mail it, or make arrangements to have it to the instructor
before the class period it is due. These
assignments are worth 25% of your total grade for this course.
NOTE –
Due to the amount of material to be covered, there will be a need for time
spent outside of the classroom to complete all assignments for this course.
Exams : There
will be 5 exams given during the course given every other Thursday beginning
WEEK 2. You will be allowed to drop your
lowest test score. The highest 4 scores will count towards your final
grade. There will be NO MAKEUPS
given. If you miss a test, that will count as the one you drop. If you
miss 2 or more, they will count as ZERO.
Also, a comprehensive Final Exam will be given.
X. OTHER COURSE
INFORMATION
1)
This course consists of lectures and programming
labs and other assignments that are designed to reinforce the theory covered in
the lectures. Although hands-on tasks
will be used during some lectures, most lab assignments must be completed
outside normal class meetings.
2) Attendance is required for this course. Any absence excused or unexcused still counts
as one absence. After you have
accumulated 8 absences, you will be dropped from this course.
3) Students are expected to take exams as they are
scheduled. An excused absence may be
granted by the instructor in special situations in order for a student to take
a make-up test. Unexcused absences will
cause the exam to be a zero grade. All
make-up tests will be given on Friday mornings between 8:00a and 12:00p unless
the instructor approves an alternate test date.
A missed test must be made up within one week of the original exam date.
Any missed exam that is not taken one week after the original date will result
in a score of zero for that exam. Any
student missing an exam MUST contact the instructor before the exam is
given to apprise the instructor of the circumstances forcing you to miss the
exam. Failure to notify the instructor results in the absence being unexcused.
4) All lab assignments will be introduced during class and will
have a specific due date. They will be
due at the beginning of the class meeting on the due date. All assignments are to be submitted through
e-mail attachments unless otherwise stated. Late assignments will not be
accepted. Absence from class does not
excuse late assignments.
5) The student is responsible for keeping backup copies of all
lab assignments. This is to protect the
student from having to recreate a lab assignment due to the loss of the lab
assignment through e-mail or other problems that may arise.
6) Students must take responsibility for their own
actions. If you are having trouble
completing assignments, please tell me immediately. Please do not wait until the day work is due
to tell me you had problems understanding it or getting started. Getting behind is a sure way to be
unsuccessful in this course. The
material continually builds on itself.
Once you are behind, you will get further behind exponentially.
Note: This course
schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor due to time
constraints or other extenuating circumstances.
