This course is designed to be an introduction to Web Design and basic programming
for developing effective and useful web sites. This course emphasizes web site
structure and navigational methods, practical and legal usability considerations
and performace factors related to using HTML,CSS, dynamic HTML, and scripting.
Class Meetings: This class meets on every Saturday at 8:00am. Attendance is important in the success you will have in this class.
The following are course objectives not necessarily in order, with additional topics to be added pending available time:
Lab programming exercises will be assigned each week during class and
will be due the following class
session. The instructor will provide a complete explanation of
each lab project along with a handout
sheet documenting the detailed requirements for the lab exercise.
Following the lecture portion of the
class, each session will typically include a specified period of time
in which students can begin working
these lab exercises in the classroom and readily access assistance
from the instructor. The handout
sheets covering the lab descriptions may also be downloaded at any
time from the instructor’s website.
This course presents a large amount of information, some of which will
not be in the
text. In addition, tests will be administered in class every
other week. It is therefore important that
students make every effort to attend each class.
No late work is accepted in this class. However, you will have
one "grace" assignment for emergencies.
This one assignment will be accepted up to a week late. After
that, the assignment will not be given credit.
You are welcome to give me work early if you will be missing class.
If you are not able to come to class,
email the homework or lab by midnight to my email address. ALL LABS ARE
TO BE GIVEN TO ME THE DAY THEY ARE DUE. I will grade labs and return
them to you.
Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
Your final grade will be calculated with the weightings shown below:
Quizzes 30%
Inclass/homework 20%
Final Exam 20%
Lab Assignments 20%
Project 10%
Tests will be graded immediately and will be returned to students within one
week after each test is given. If a student misses a test for a legitimate
reason, the student is responsible for taking a makeup test. I will set
a
date in the term for anyone who needs a makeup quiz. Only one quiz can
be made up.
.
I must be contacted within 24 hours of the missed test, otherwise, a score of
zero will be automatically entered into the grade book for the missed test.
No tests will be dropped from the final grade calculation
(refer to the grade calculation method shown above). Remember to bring
a couple of No. 2 pencils
for each test as your answers will be recorded on Scantron cards.
When working lab/homework assignments, students may compare their individual
ideas and solution
approaches with others; however, each student must only submit his/her
own unique “product” for
grading. Students suspected of academic dishonesty will be reported
to the Dean of Students. Refer to
the student handbook for DeVry policies and procedures. If I
feel there is too much collaboration on any
assignment, I reserve the right to ask that the assignment be done
again.
I wil be in the office Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-6 pm, I will also meet
with students at other times by
appointment -- just send me an email or leave a phone message at 253-7291,
extension 2894.
