COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING PROCESS

Grading will be heavily based on student’s process and completion of in-class web-based projects, but will also include classroom participation, out-of-class assignments,
Learning web design skills requires consistently building upon previous knowledge, so good attendance is absolutely necessary.
Most assignments will be worked on during class time; others are relying on your timely output/updating of data, thus it is important for you to work hard and stay busy.
It is the student’s responsibility to gather information missed due to absence.
