Homework

All homework is due by midnight CST on the date indicated on the assignment. The first 1 days late is free, every day after that costs 5 points. After 5 calendar days, it is still worth turning in but it will only be worth at most half points. Warn me ahead of time of events that will cause you to miss due dates. All homework will be emailed and I will reply that I got it.

Course Topics

This course focuses on the client or browser side of the web. We will be covering topics including the history and structure of the internet and the web, HTML, JavaScript programming, Cascading Style Sheets and Dynamic HTML. There will also be some introduction to server side techniques like CGI and PHP. A more detailed list can be found in the schedule.

There will be quizzes and tests. There will be considerable web page development.

About the book

The book covers many of the same topics that I do. Sometime hearing another version of things makes them clearer. There will be times that my version won't work for you but the books version does. And times it will go the other way. In terms of tests and quizzes, you will be responsible for the material I presented in class.

Grading Policy

Final letter grades are determined by the total points you get. I will be using the usual grading scale listed below. I will round up on partial points. If you are within 2 points of the next highest grade, I will move you up. If you are 3 or more points away, I won't. If you are concerned about your performance, contact me at once. After the final, it is too late.

Range (percent) Letter Grade
