This course is designed for the beginning student who wants to create Web pages for the World Wide Web. You need to be familiar with the basics of computer usage, be reasonably proficient in file management and feel comfortable using the Internet. If you do not have these skills I recommend you enroll in an Introduction to the PC (or Mac) class, and the Introduction to Internet course.
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the basis of all the lessons in the course. For students who are considering a career in Web design or programming, it is essential that you master HTML. If you want to create a home page for yourself or others as a hobby, you may want to consider a course in Dreamweaver, GoLive, PageMill, or FrontPage. These software packages create Web pages without requiring that you learn HTML.
In addition to memorizing HTML codes, you will be asked to develop skills in organizing information; writing clearly and concisely; using colors and graphics which are effective and pleasing to the eye; and presenting your finished Web project to an audience. In short, there is more to Web design than knowing HTML.
This eight-week course will not provide you with all you need to know to become a "Webmaster;" however, it will help you get started!
All assignments will be turned in using email must be received by 11 PM (Pacific) on the due date (unless otherwise noted). Reading assignments are to be done in preparation for class.

All assignments will be turned in using web forms and email must be received by 11 PM (Pacific) on the due date (unless otherwise noted). Reading assignments are to be done in preparation for class. It usually takes me a few days to grade all incoming work.
Please note - late work will only be accepted 1 week after due date and a 20% deduction will be imposed. Assignments turned in more than 1 week late will receive no points. EXCEPTION - All assignments must be turned in by 11 PM May 12th.
If you are taking this course to complete one of the web development certificates you must take the class for a letter grade.
IMPORTANT!
It is your responsibility to officially drop this class if you are
not going to complete it. Failure to do so will result in a
grade of "F" on your transcript.
The CIS department provides several computer labs including :
These labs all have Macs and PCs which contain Firefox and IE as well as HTML editors and graphics software. We have zip drives, scanners, color printers, and laser writers as well. You may also use your home computer.
The lab printers are for printing class assignments only! Please do not use the printers to print out class notes or large web sites which can consume several printed pages. No printed assignments will be accepted for this class.
My job is to help you learn. I expect that most of our communication will be via e-mail, but you can also come to see me in person by appointment. You don't need an appointment to contact me via Yahoo! IM during office hours.
You are not required to do any of your work in the computer lab at school, but, if you are having trouble, that's the place to go. You can check my home page for the hours I am scheduled to be in the lab every week. If I am not available, most of the other instructors and lab assistants will be able to answer your questions.
