USE OF BLACKBOARD IN CLASS
This course uses Blackboard and students will find course materials, grades, assignments, and tests here. Students will be responsible for checking Blackboard regularly. All assignments are to be turned in to Blackboard so there is no excuse for late work.
As with all computer systems, there are occasional scheduled downtimes as well as unanticipated disruptions. Notification of these disruptions will be posted on the
Blackboard login page. Scheduled downtimes are not an excuse for late work. However, if there is an unscheduled downtime for a significant period of time, I will make an adjustment if it occurs close to the due date.

LABS
Typically each lecture will be followed by practical exercises where the student will have a chance to create independent Web pages under guidance of the instructor during the class time. There will also be out of class assignments both written and practical.
QUIZZES
There will be a minimum of two quizzes during the semester. Quizzes will be based on the reading material and in class discussions.
FINAL PROJECT AND PRESENTATION
There will be one major project. The student will be expected to do a majority of the project work outside of class in addition to the lab time offered in class. The project will be discussed in class. This project is expected to be more involved then the lab exercises and will require more independent work. Each student will be required to present their final project to fellow students at the end of the semester. The date of the presentation will be posted on Blackboard at a later date.
CLASS POLICY
Students are expected to attend class and read the chapters. It is your responsibility to get the notes and handouts should you miss class or arrive late.
Inappropriate use of the computers (downloading programs/files, changing computer configuration, etc.) during lab time will result in immediate dismissal and a zero for any lab assigned during that class period.
Cell phones should be shut off or on vibrate . If you must answer the call, please leave the room.
Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of students to question and discuss with the instructor the educational process relative to subject content will not be tolerated.
COURSE ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES

Class attendance is considered essential to your academic success at this college. There are constant learning opportunities between faculty members and students within the classroom or lab, it is expected that students will attend each meeting of each course in which they are enrolled.
Page 2 Spring 2011


Specific attendance policies for each course are determined by the instructor and will be stated in writing in the course syllabus or addendum. These policies will reflect the instructor’s authority to determine whether a student is permitted to make up work missed through absence or tardiness and on what terms.

If a student is absent more than the number of hours the course meets during a two-week period, the faculty may withdraw a student from the course with an AF grade any time during the se mester. An “AF” grade is calculated in the GPA as an “F”. All students who stop attending class after the add/drop period and have not officially withdrawn shall receive an AF from the instructor at the end of the semester or at any point during the semester that the instructor informs the
Registrar’s office that the student has been suspended from class. The awarding of an AF grade need not be accompanied by a LDA (Last date of attendance).
