XHTML* and related technologies.
The largest portion of the course will be devoted to the
structure of XHTML itself,
but we will also explore the following elements of Web Publishing:

Attendance | : |
Students are required to contribute WEEKLY to the WebCT Message Board. Some weeks, I will ask pointed questions, or direct you in some activity that requires a followup answer. Timely answers to these questions/directions will fulfill the weekly "attendance" obligation and add to your attendance grade (up to 6 points out of 16). I will also grade your posts to the message board on two other criteria. All three criteria are listed here: Timely answers to "This Week's Discussion" : 6 points The attendance grade will be handed out twice: 8 points at midterm and 8 points at the end of the term. |

Grading Curve | : |
There is no curve. All extra credit points are extra. If you get 80
points in this class, you get a B—even if someone else in the class
gets 190 points. (S)he gets an A, and you still get the B. |

Makeup Policy | : | Assignments CANNOT be made up. However, assignments can be
turned in late
(within one week of the original due date) for less than full credit.
See "Late Assignments Policy" below.

Late Assignments Policy | : |
If you foresee trouble with a particular due date, and you alert me well in advance, we can try to make alternate arrangements. (Often, "alternate arrangements" will mean an alternate assignment.) If you experience difficulty uploading an assignment, email me. If I can confirm problems with Valencia's network, I'll let the due date slide a bit for the people who sent the email. Don't stop trying to upload, however. Many network problems
are repaired after 30 minutes or so. |

Faculty-Initiated Withdrawal | : |
Though I reserve the right to remove any person from the class for
lack of participation. I don't intend to invoke that right
this semester. If you need to drop this class, then do so. Don't
expect me to do it for you.

Responsibility | : |
You are responsible for your own work. Please
understand both halves of what I am saying here:
