This (3 CR) 16-week course requires approximately a total of three class hours per week. This course is a requirement for the Web Design Manager Certificate, and the Web Developer Career Studies Certificate.

Course Grading: Your grade for this course will be based on your performance on two exams (20 % each), one Final Exam (20% of grade), and one Final Project (20% of grade). The nature of the exams will be discussed at a later date. You will also have homework, (10% of grade), and a short Research Paper due around the middle of the semester. (10% of grade.)

Homework: Students are expected to read text assignments prior to each session, complete all assignments and actively participate in class. There will be 10 homework assignments as described on a separate page. Each assignment will be due before, or at the beginning of the next class. Late assignments will be penalized one point (1) per class period late. All assignments are expected to be the result of your own effort, not the collaboration with others. Please use print preview to review your work before printing it. Print the corrected version of your work only once. Staple the completed assignment together, and enter your name, course number, assignment number, page number, due date on the right side of each page of the homework, quiz or project. You may send me assignments as attachments to e-mail messages. You may give me a floppy disk with your homework instead of printing it.

Make-up Exams: Students are expected to take tests at the regularly scheduled time. A missed exam cannot be made-up except for the most extraordinary reason. I can arrange for you to take a test early. Students may be tested on any materials whether or not he/she was in class. For that reason, if a student is absent from class, it is his/her responsibility to acquire class information and assignments. Books, notes, and the Netscape browser may be used. Academic dishonesty (cheating on an examination or quiz) will result in a zero for that test.

Project: There will be one project due at the end of the semester (20% of grade). The Project will be presented to the instructor and to the rest of the class at the end of the semester. All students are expected to actively participate in the class, projects, and homework. For the Final Project, a floppy disk, with the name of the student, section number, and date will be collected at the end of the presentation with all the files used for that particular presentation.

Attendance: Your presence and active participation are essential ingredients in your own learning. Class will start on time. Class material missed is your responsibility. I will not provide you with previous class lecture notes.

Lab-etiquette: No food or drink is allowed in any of the labs at any time. Be courteous, clear work area of all unnecessary material and personal items. At the end of the class, exit the program you are using, and remove your floppy disk. Please, no conversations during lectures. If you must leave class early, do so quietly. Act professionally.

The Learning Environment: The Alexandria Campus is committed to providing a positive learning environment in which students of all ages and backgrounds can learn together in a setting that encourages the free exchange of ideas and information. To accomplish this goal, the members of the Alexandria Campus Council have established the following expectations for learning.

• All backgrounds and cultures are respected.
• During class discussions, everyone feels welcome to participate and a free exchange of ideas takes place.
• All members of the class arrive on time and leave the class only on breaks or in case of emergency.
• Distractions are kept to a minimum. Cell phones and other electronic devices are turned off in class, labs, and library. Students remain seated throughout class and refrain from talking with classmates while another class member or the instructor has the floor.
• Each student turns in work that is his or her own.
• Consideration is always given to other classes that are taking place in adjoining classrooms.
• At the end of a class, the members of the class and the instructor leave the classroom in good condition so that the next class can begin without disruption.
