Course Description
This course will explore the fundamentals of development and delivery of web sites. Students will be introduced to basic web page coding and image preparation. Special emphasis will be placed on HTML page structure and control of page elements through CSS. Students will be able to create a simple website with HTML and CSS and upload it to a server at the end of the course.
The class is designed to be completed either on-campus, online, or a combination of both. That means you do not need to come to the schedule class time on campus. All of the materials – lecture videos, assignments, projects – will be available in D2L. Inform the instructor prior to a planned absence so they can give you a preview of what you’ll need to cover. You will still be expected to complete and turn in book assignments, projects, and quizzes.
The student will receive a letter grade based on the completion of projects, book assignments, and quizzes. Book assignments and projects are due at midnight on their due date, with a penalty of 10% for each week they are late. See the course schedule at the end of the syllabus for exact due dates for each book exercise and project.
Mobile phones, gaming, and social media use may disrupt the learning environment and are not allowed to be used in the classroom during lecture time. You are free to play music with headphones during open lab time. If you need to communicate with others (text or phone call), be sure not to disrupt others and either wait for a break or step out of the class for a few minutes if needed.
No software will be downloaded from the internet or installed from the internet or via external disk onto any computer unless directed by an instructor. Computer configurations will not be changed with the exception of mouse, keyboard and sound functions, unless directed by an instructor.
