Course DescriptionThis course will introduce students to the design and implementation of Web pages using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Later in the course a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) Web site development software will be introduced. The class will use lectures, demonstrations, lab activities, and homework assignments to cover several topics, including principles of Web page layout, tables for data presentation as for page layout, enhancing a page with images, hosting a Web site on a server, Javascript, and Cascading Style Sheet. Emphasis during the semester will be on the individual mastering of constructing Web pages. Course ObjectivesThe course is intended to help the students to:

RequirementsFollowing are the class requirements. Refer to the section on Grading for further details.
The project assignments must be uploaded on the Web server, at appropriate times, in order to be given full credit. Return to: [Top of Page] Project Assignments (PA)An important requirement in the course is to learn how to develop Web documents by yourself. Two separate Web sites, each consisting of several documents, will be required.
Refer to the Project Assignments page for further details. All assignments should be posted on the Web server in order to receive credit. These posting are due at midnight of the due dates indicated in the Schedule section of this Web site. On some occasions class time may be used to work on these exercises, but generally speaking, you are expected to spend additional time outside the class to complete the PA's. Return to: [Top of Page] Submitting One's Own WorkEach student is expected to write his or her own code. Although modern programming projects require extensive teamwork, one of the main goals in this class is that each student learn the basic Web development skills by practicing individually. You must distinguish between consulting your friends and discussing problems with them from copying other people's work. The penalty for copying in tests and project assignments is, for the first offense, a grade of F for all parties involved; for the second offense, an F for the course. AttendanceRegular class attendance is important since you are responsible for all materials covered in the class. Attendance will be taken at all class sessions. Generally speaking, there will be no make-up tests, except in cases of excused absences for which prior arrangements will be necessary. Be sure to inform the instructor when you foresee that you cannot be present for a scheduled test. A missed test receives a grade of 0.
