Assignments

Assignments will be assigned from a variety of websites and from handouts. The assignments are assigned a certain number of points and should be turned in on time. Assignments and deadlines are listed on the course calendar, but may be modified based on the semester and course needs.. Class time is so valuable to your success in this course. Please make every effort to not miss a single day of class.

Tests

Two theory tests will be given during the semester. The tests will cover concepts from HTML, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks. The tests may include multiple choice, true/false, and matching. The tests are geared to simulate the actual Certified Macromedia Dreamweaver Developer Exam. There are no performance tests in this course--instead one project will be assigned to reinforce the hands-on portions of the course

.

Project

The project for this course is designing, developing, and testing a comprehensive informational web site. Students can choose their site, but the business chosen must be selling a product or service using the site. Students would be wise to begin designing and developing their site from the first day of class. For example, when the lesson about choosing colors is discussed, students should begin choosing colors; and when the lesson about navigation is discussed, students should begin designing the navigation system. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to design, develop, and test the site at the end of the semester.

Lab Time

You may need to spend 4-6 hours per week outside of class to complete assignments and projects, study for tests, and prepare for class. This may vary from student to student and from week to week during the semester. All software packages required for this course are available at the Miller campus in MPDC 209, 213, 231) and at Redwood campus in AT 100. The hours are posted outside the lab doors.
