Electronic Mail:
Most assignments can be delivered via email (sm903@hotmail.com) or on diskette. If you do not have an email account at your disposal, make it known on the first day. There will be no paper-based communications from me during the semester.

Readings:
Students will be asked to read certain portions of the required text before classes. We will also be reviewing certain sites throughout the term which will require some critique based on notes and the required text.

Requirements:

Assignments - Throughout this course, you will be creating a complete website. This site will be created incrementally as we cover a given topic. The site can be on any topic you wish: personal, business, etc. If you cannot think of a topic, there is always the tried and true "Family Website". For other ideas, contact me and I'll be happy to help you out.

Assignments will be posted to a publicly accessible web server. There will be a free web account provided for the class to use. However, if you have space elsewhere or decide to get space elsewhere, that is also acceptable. There are a number of sites that offer free web space (see Resources).

Attendance - Class attendance is important to engage in dialogue with others about the readings, individual knowledge and experiences. Students are expected to prepare for and participate in class discussions

Miscellaneous - On the first day of class I will provide you with one diskette for your use. Since we will be using computers housed in a student lab, you will need to bring a diskette to each class in order to save the work you do during class time.

Note - Failure to complete course requirements within specified time frames may result in an "incomplete," unless a clear personal emergency can be demonstrated. "Incompletes" must be completed within a time negotiated with the instructor, but no later than the end of the following semester.
