CS 110: Introduction to Web Page Design Syllabus |
This 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 and for page layout, enhancing a page with images, hosting a Web site on a server, Javascript, Cascading Style Sheet, and embedding applets in Web documents. Emphasis during the semester will be on the individual mastering of Web page construction.
The course is intended to help the students to:

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.
The first Web site should be developed manually by writing HTML code for each page, with an aim and subject of your choosing. The pages for this project will be modified and enhanced as you learn more techniques. These pages are to be submitted in two stages--corresponding to two projects assignments (PA I-A and PA I-B)--by uploading them to the server.
The second Web site, written with FrontPage, on the theme and design specified in the class. This corresponds to PA 3.
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.

The University Student Handbook defines plagiariasm as follows: "Plagiarism is the offering of another as one's own. Plagiarism is a serious offense and may include, but is not limited to, the following:
Each student is expected to complete his or her own assignments. Although modern work environments require extensive teamwork, one of the main goals in this class is that each student learn the basic skills in computer usage through individual practicing. You are encouraged to consult each other in your class work. But you must distinguish between consulting your friends and discussing problems with them from copying other people's work.
Whatever you submit for grading must be your own work. The penalty for copying in tests, project assignments, or lab exercises is, for the first offense, a grade of F for all parties involved; for the second offense, an F for the course.
Regular 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.
