Tests
and assignments
Three
equally weighed tests will deal with the concepts discussed in class and
developed in the hands-on labs and computer assignments. If you are going to
miss a test, you must contact the instructor prior to the test time for any
special consideration. At the instructor’s discretion, test content and test
results credit percentages following a student’s absence may be adjusted to
compensate for an absence from a regularly scheduled examination. Assignments
are due when class officially starts. Late assignments will be penalized
10 points per class day they are late.
Reading materials
You
are to read each chapter in advance of the class discussion. In addition
for each chapter of the book you will receive selected reading materials
(contemporary magazine articles reflecting textbook material). You are to read
them before the chapter is to be discussed in class. A quiz on the
reading material will be given in the beginning of the class.
Attendance
You are expected to attend class. Failure to do
so will result in your missing material explanation, lab assignments, and the
possibility of a supervised hands-on experience in business web site
development.
