The Course

This course provides students with an understanding of how the World Wide Web (www) can be used as a global vehicle for research, communications exchange and collaboration. Students will learn the basic elements of browsing the www, including details of browsers, web servers, and path conventions associated with the uniform resource locator (URL). Additional topics include web page creation using hypertext markup language (HTML), links, and the inclusion of graphics and animation.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

• Describe the differences between web browsers
• Create web pages in HTML, using headings, paragraphs, and body text.
• Describe the operation of an HTML editor
• Incorporate lists, frames, and tables into their web pages.
• Describe and create internal, external, and hyperlinks.
• Describe and create a frame-formatted web page
• Describe and create a form.

Grading

Retest/Make-ups

A student who misses an original examination or scores below 65 on an examination may arrange with the instructor for a make-up/retest exam. All make-up/retest exams must be taken within three days of the student's return to class or the awarding of a failing test grade.

The maximum grade for any make-up/retest is 65 unless sufficient documentation is provided. Students will earn their full grade on make-ups for documented absences. Quizzes that are missed will follow the same rules as above.

It is the student's responsibility to see the instructor of the course in order to schedule a retest/make-up examination. The appointment times for retest/make-ups are scheduled at the instructor's discretion. Only one retest/make-up will be permitted per student per term.

Students may elect to take an exam early due to a conflict. Arrangements should be made in advance with the instructor, and the student's grade will not be affected.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled class meetings. Students are encouraged to tell or e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) their instructor in advance or to call the Registrar's Office if they will be absent.

Students with absences greater than 15% may have their records reviewed by an Academic Review Board for purposes of possible probation, termination, or suspension.

A student may be dropped from a course if the student is absent more than 20% of the scheduled course hours. Dropped students will be assigned a grade of F.

Documentation does not remove an absence from attendance records.
