Learning Objectives
To achieve this goal, you are expected to achieve competency in the following course-level Student Learning Outcomes: Performance Objectives
|
||||||||||||||||||
HOMEWORK To create a better learning experience, you will actively use the material we are covering in class. You will do some research on how other businesses are currently using their websites and write analyzing what you have found. This is a great way to see what is working, or not working and learn to create websites and use design more effectively yourself. This will expand your viewpoint of the content covered in class. The assignments are here to point you in the right direction, your level of participation and engagement will directly affect the depth of your learning experience. Late homework will be marked down as specified per weekly exercise rubric. I encourage you to continue and complete the entirety of your work. Dropping Class: It is your responsibility to drop or withdraw from the class, although after three consecutive weeks of no homework being turned in and no visible course activity, I may be drop you from this course. Incomplete Grade: Students seeking a grade of Incomplete must consult with me no later than the week prior to finals (you may wish to specify a date within this week). A grade of Incomplete will only be considered for unforeseeable, emergency and justifiable reasons at the end of the term, and only upon agreement of conditions for completing coursework. Specific Course Pace Students should plan on spending at least 5-8 hours per week reading and applying what they learn. It is important to keep up with the class pace, so as not to fall behind. Materials covered will build as steps to the next concept, and should not be skipped over. Although I will guide you in the process of using each tool we cover, you must be able to work independently on your own to apply each new concept. Let me know ahead of time if you are missing class. Ethical Conduct Plagiarism: The work you do in class should be original. Look, learn, and then develop your own style and content. Do not copy someone else and use it as your own work. Copyright issues: Material [images or text] that exists on the web is not necessarily public domain. Ask for permission before copying someone else’s work. Penalty for Cheating and Plagiarism will initially result in a written reprimand and a 0 on the work involved for a first offense. A second offense will include referral to the Vice President of Student Services with a notation on the permanent academic record. DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS Students with disabilities, whether physical, learning, or psychological, who believe that they may need accommodations in this class, are encouraged to contact Disabled Students Programs & Services as soon as possible to ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely manner. Their phone number is 795-6658 and they are located in Building 3000-Student Services, Room 3009, adjacent to Parking Lot 3C.
