this course, it is expected that students will need to devote a minimum of 9 hours a week completing scheduled lessons,
completing assigned readings, working on the study questions, participating in chat, researching and writing the reaction
papers, and studying for scheduled exams and quizzes.

The course will be divided into three units each constituting a third of the semester.
The first third of the course students will learn to design a sophisticated responsive navigation system which will be

versions and different computer platforms.
The second third of the course will be spent learning the principles of CSS Web design. Students will design a complete
Web site in relation to the navigation system they designed in the first unit. Students will then perform a real time
