Textbooks Principles of Web Design, by Joel Sklar, Course Technology, a division of Thomson Learning, One Main Street, Cambridge, Mass, Ó 2000.C. Course OutlineThe class will consist of lecture, discussion, and exercises in class. The student will be expected to devote sufficient time outside the classroom to read the assigned text, prepare and submit all requiredassignments in a timely manner, and to prepare a web page meeting all requirements which will include learning and practicing the source code statements of hypertext markup language.D. Requirements for Undergraduate CreditThe final course grade will be determined using a 1,000-point grading system. There is no rounding up or down in this grading system. Grades are not rounded. For example, 899.99 points equates to a B. The value for each graded segment is listed below.Mid-term Exam 200 pt. (20% of grade) A = 900 - 1000Final Exam 200 pt. (20% of grade) B = 800 - 899Create/publish Web site 600 pt. (60% of grade) C = 700 - 799D = 600 - 699F = below 600E. Methods for Assessing OutcomesUpon completion of this course, students will have developed an understanding of the uses, development, implementation and management of various web sites for both personal and business use. Students will also be able to program various JavaScript elements and Active Server Pages.Student progress will be measured by administering tests, and a web assignment to be published on the World Wide Web.During this course, students are expected to attend all classes and to be on time. Students are responsible for all assignments and lecture material including material missed during any absences. Students are expected to makeup any missed work due an absence or tardiness. If you are absent on the evening of a test, the make-up test must be taken in the main office. To take a missed test,schedule a time through the main office (826-7595). Unless you have made prior arrangements with the instructor, tests not taken by the next scheduled class meeting will receive a grade of zero. Making prior arrangements doe not mean just leaving a phone voice mail message. The lab isopen for use 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students must vacant the lab no later than 5p.m. so as not to interfere with the evening computer classes. Students may not assume that an assignment has been submitted by merely typing it or loading it onto a lab computer. Work conflicts, family emergencies, military TDY, and sudden changes in your scheduled work hours are not considered an excuse for failure to submit your assignments on time. Attendance will be taken via the Internet starting the second week of class. Submission of your attendance using the form provided on the class web site is considered a part of the grading process. Therefore, failure to send your attendance from a lab computer may not only result in you being counted as absent, but can have a negative impact on your course grade as well. This is a class on using the tools of the Internet; it is not a class that you take via the Internet. You are expected to attend all class meetings. Any student who misses 25 percent or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings will receive de of F in this course. The university attendance policy can be found on page 76 of the 2002-2003 academic catalog. If you do not have a catalog, you may obtain one through the main office. The attendance policy was also part of your new student orientation, which you were required to take. To summarize, the attendance policy states that any student who misses 25 percent (three classes for the San Antonio Campus) or more of a term will receive a grade of F. The university has a very liberal drop policy, especially for military TDY and medical exigency reasons. These policies can be found on page 35-36 of the academic catalog. Since the semesters are only eleven weeks in duration, the university does not differentiate between excused and unexcused absences. Three late arrivals, early departures, or combination of the two may be countedas an absence.F. Supplementary MaterialsThe software available for your use on the lab computers includes Netscape Communicator, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and Microsoft FrontPage 2000Ò. Personal software may not be loaded onto the lab computers. You may want to obtain a floppy disk to provide for mobility of your work from lab to home etc. I recommend that if you plan to work on the web page design fromhome that you use Netscape Communicator 4.6 or later version. You may download it free of chargeas a student directly from Netscape. Microsoft’s FrontPage software may also be used. We will provide it for you on the lab computers for this course.All written assignments will be evaluated according to The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, ã2001, by the American Psychological Association, Washington, DC. Copies of this manual are available in the university bookstore for purchase.Additional research resources are available through the university’s web site at http://www.sa.wbu.edu.
