Course Requirements:
Co-requisite: Enrollment in CO SCI 53 Programming Laboratory Internet section 7633 for one unit. You

Textbook:
Author: Carey, Patrick
Title: New Perspectives on HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML Comprehensive 4th Edition
Publisher: Cengage Learning
ISBN:978-1-4239-2543-9
The textbook is available in the bookstore and on the Internet. You can also access the book as an e-
book or rental by going to www.cengage.com/coursetechnology.
Time: The surest way to succeed is to set up a weekly schedule of the hours you will spend on the class.
If you were attending CO SCI 92 and 53 face-to-face, you would be in class for 6 hours and 40 minutes
per week. Additional time would be spent as needed to complete assignments and study the textbook.
Block out about 6 hours per week for the class. Some people will need more time and others need less
depending on computer experience and reading speed.
Software: There is no special software needed for the class. You can run Windows 7, XP or Vista. You
should have the latest version of the Internet Explorer and/or FireFox browser software installed. See
https://myetudes.org/portal/site/!gateway/page/4243c7b4-9b68-45fc-0016-148ad08653aa for information
on the browsers and Etudes.
What You Will Be Doing:
The course is NOT self-paced. There is a Module and Assignment each week that may include lectures,
textbook reading, study questions, projects, and quiz questions. You should log on to the online
classroom at least three times a week to check for announcements, private messages, and grades.
Assignments: Assignments are usually given on Tuesdays and are due the following Tuesday at 11:45p.
m. Everyone tries to wait until the last minute. The system gets busy and slow in the hours before the
deadline. Do your work earlier to make sure it is on time. Waiting until the last minute means that you
can't ask me for help if you need it. Start early. Keep copies of documents just in case a file becomes lost
or corrupt during transfer. Assignments can be submitted 1 week late but will receive a 20% (one grade)
lower score. They will not be accepted after the late submission period is over. The last assignment does
not have this extra time.
Course Grade: Your course grade is based on the percentage you earn of the total. A's are 90% or better,
B's are 80% or better, C's 70% or better, D's 60% or better, F below. Click the Gradebook Tool from the
Etudes Homepage to see everything that has been graded so far.
Assignment Grades: Go to Assignments, Tests and Surveys and click the link to review your score and
my comments. The grades will be visible after the late submission deadline. If there was something
wrong with your assignment (wrong file, unable to open), I will give you a 0 and ask you to send it to me
again. It is your responsibility to follow up quickly.
Cheating: Your submissions should be your own independent work unless the instructions indicate that
you may work with others. If I feel that two submissions are too similar, I will give both a lower score or
even a zero depending on how much was copied. I will not be open to discussion about the reasons why
it happened or who actually did the work. The second incident will result in an F in the class.
Dropping the Class and Incompletes:
It is your responsibility to drop if you don't want to continue in the class. Drop without receiving a W by
March 4. Drop with a W by May 13.
I do not give incompletes. I give you the grade you have earned by the end of the semester and change
the grade after you have completed the work. This consideration will only be given only for medical or
other reasons beyond your control. You must be up-to-date with all work and passing the class at the
time you notify me that you have had an emergency. Let me know as quickly as possible and submit a
detailed schedule for completing the rest of the class. You will not be allowed to do this because you fell
behind with your assignments, had computer problems, or don't like your grade so far.
