| This class is designed to give you the skills necessary to create a web page. We will cover several concepts having to do with Web Site design. This is a hands on class and the grading will be heavily skewed towards successful completion of the lab assignments. Each student will create and maintain a web site for this class. My grading of your labs will be based on the material on your live web site. |

| Course Work and Homework: |
| If you have a computer you can do your lab work at home. However, working at home is not an excuse for not getting your assignments done. I am in the lab for 13 hours each week (See Schedule Below). If you are working at home and start to fall behind, work in the lab while I am there !! All lab assignments are due the week after they are listed above. Late assignments lose 10% of their value for each week they are late. The first assignment is intentionally easy. This is your chance to get ahead. Reading should be done before the class they are listed for above. All assignments and several other useful items can be found on my website at http://cis.marin.cc.ca.us/nicole |
| Grading Policy: |
|
Your grade in this class is determined almost entirely by your web site !! The test at the end of the class and any quizzes combined will not be worth more than 20% of your grade. Just to make sure your work is your own, I will occasionally put one of the students sites on screen during class and ask the creator questions about it. If something is in your web page, I will expect you to know why. You cannot use code from another students web site. You may take this class for either a letter grade or credit/no credit. If you choose to take credit/no credit, you need a grade of C or better to get a credit. |

How to Contact Me: If you need to contact me, the best way to reach me is by email. You can email me at ndcook@dnai.com You can ask me questions by email also, either Debbie or I will respond to your questions. Calling me at the college does not work well. The only time that might work is during my office hour. There is no phone answering machine on that line for me. |
