Course Description
The Site Development Associate course teaches students essential Web page development skills.
This course teaches students to develop Web sites using Hypertext Markup Language version 5
(HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Students learn to write code manually, as well as
use graphical user interface (GUI) authoring tools. They also insert images, create hyperlinks, and
add tables, forms, video and audio to Web pages, as well as use HTML5 Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) to extend the functionality of Web pages (geolocation, drag-anddrop, canvas and offline Web applications). Other topics include validating HTML code,
recognizing the importance of search engine optimization (SEO), using style sheets extensively to
format Web page content, and implementing fundamental design concepts. Throughout the
course, students learn how Web sites are developed as managed projects. They also identify ecommerce solutions and relate Web site development to business goals. This course also provides
an introduction to tasks, job roles and careers in Web development, and it teaches students how to
work as a productive part of a Web site development team. Hands-on labs include real-world
scenarios based on a previously live version of the Habitat for Humanity site (www.habitat.org).

COURSE POLICIES
Homework Assignments
You are expected to read each assigned project prior to the lecture. Lectures will be short, to the point. If
you are absent or late, you are responsible for getting the course notes, handouts, and laboratory
assignments you missed. All your homework will be supplied from the teacher, and must be done before
the due date. Late assignments will be accepted for up to two school days following the due
date. For each of the two days late, students will be penalized one full letter grade (ie A down to a B). The
highest attainable grade for being two days late is a C. No assignments will be accepted more than two days
late. I do not accept emailed assignments. Plan to spend approximately six to eight hours each week
working on homework and laboratory assignments.
Examination Policy
We will have chapter exercises and a final for this class, I will announce the tests dates prior to any test. I
will also have a short study session prior to the tests. No make-up exams will be allowed without prior
arrangements being made with your instructor. If you do have to miss class on the day of the class and have
to take a make-up exam understand it will be a different test than what your peers have taken. The make-up
exams are usually more difficult due to the fact that you are being allowed more time to prepare. You are
allowed one 3 X 5 card with handwritten notes on one side and one side only for any exam in class. No
computer printed notes or photocopies of others students cards will be allowed. This note card must be in
your own penmanship and will be turned in with your test.
To prepare for examinations, attend lecture and read the chapters and complete all homework. At
least 95 % of the problems are taken directly from the reading material or demonstrations presented
in class lectures.
Student Conduct in Class Policy
Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of students to question and discuss with
instructors the educational process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children in Class Policy
Children are not allowed in classroom or laboratory facilities, this is campus wide policy for safety reasons.
Electronic Devices in Class Policy
Cellular telephones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices are permitted in the classroom and
laboratory facilities. In the classroom your cell phone call is to be on vibrate and you must leave the
classroom to make or receive a call.
Appeals Policy
To appeal a grade, send an e-mail to your instructor's e-mail address within two weeks of receiving the
grade. Overdue appeals will not be considered.
Disabilities Policy
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all qualified students enrolled in this
course are entitled to “reasonable accommodations.” Please notify the instructor during the first week of
class of any accommodations needed for the course.
To request accommodations related to a disability, contact Claudia Angus, Ph.D., Coordinator of
Disability Support Services, at 527-4262 or email claudia.angus@wwcc.edu
Incomplete Policy
Students will not be given an incomplete grade in the course without sound reason and documented
evidence as described in the Student Handbook. In any case, for a student to receive an incomplete, he or
she must be passing and must have completed at more than 50% of the coursework with a passing grade.
Lab Monitors
Lab monitors in the computer labs are on duty to assist you with hardware and software problems. If your
computer malfunctions or your printer is out of paper, go to the main desk and ask a lab monitor for help.
The lab monitors are student assistants and may not be able to answer specific homework questions.
Viewing Your Grades
1. You can view your grades in Canvas.
2. You can also ask to see your grade in class or you can come by my office during my office hour.
Cheating Policy
You are a college student and as such must honor the code of ethics so copying another students homework
answers will not be tolerated. I have failed many students for cheating; they always respond I did not know
I was cheating. Ignorance is never an acceptable excuse in life or in my classroom. Students are expected to
uphold the school’s standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility
for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity
shall be that a student's submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the student's
own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Represent the work of others as their own work.
Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.
Give unauthorized assistance to other students.
Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of
obtaining additional credit.
Misrepresent the content of submitted work.
The penalty for violating the honor code is severe. Any student violating the honor code is subject to
receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. If a student is
unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute an honor code violation, the student should meet
with the instructor to discuss the situation.
For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing techniques. General
advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person, however, must develop his or her own solutions to the
assigned projects, assignments, and tasks. In other words, students may not "work together" on graded
assignments. Such collaboration constitutes cheating. A student may not use or copy (by any means)
another's work (or portions of it) and represent it as his/her own. If you need help on an assignment, contact
your instructor or the TA, not other classmates.
Certifications:

They can take the full CIW Web Foundations Associate 1D0-610 certification exam, or they can take
three modular exams, each a third of the traditional 1D0-610 exam. Passing each one of these modular
exams earns students the Associate certification corresponding to that discipline. The three modular exams
are: Internet Business Associate 1D0-61A, Site Development Associate 1D0-61B and Network
