Policies
Students are expected to either attend each Zoom session or view the recording created from the Zoom session. Attendance will be kept even though it is not a part of the course grade.
To complete this course, students will need the following:
- Reliable internet access
- A computer equipped with speaker (or headphones), microphone and video camera
Students without internet access and an appropriately equipped computer will need to drop the course.
Exams are scheduled at the beginning of the quarter and students should plan on having internet access during the scheduled times. Exams might include online quizzes and asking students to video-record explanations of code.
The two quizzes will be offered through D2L outside of class time. The midterm will be offered during the scheduled class time. All quizzes and exams must be completed individually without any collaboration.
Tests and quizzes can be made up with a serious documented excuse (e.g. illness, death in the family) and must be arranged as soon as possible. Arrangements involving other excuses require prior permission from the instructor.
The goal of assignments is to practice the concepts taught in class. You are expected to do your own assignments. However, some collaboration with other students is allowed and even encouraged. The following types of collaboration are allowed:
- Discussing strategies for solving a problem
- Explaining why a Web page does not work
- Reviewing and testing someone else's Web pages
- Using HTML and JavaScript code provided by the instructor and texts
The following types of collaboration are not allowed:
- Copying someone else's HTML or Javascript code
- Literally telling someone what code to write
Engaging in these last two types of collaboration will be considered a violation of the university's policy on academic integrity. Violators will receive a 0 for the corresponding assignment and will be reported as required by the policy.
Late assignments will be accepted up to three days late with a one point penalty. Assignments submitted more than 3 days after the due date will not be accepted without an excused absence cleared by the dean of students office.
Additional assignments for extra credit will not be offered.
All grade challenges must be submitted in writing and include an explanation why the given score or grade should be reconsidered.
