Course Evaluation Criteria

Quizzes 25%

Final Project 20%

Discussions 10%

Midterm 10%

Professionalism 5%

Creativity 5%

Assignments & Exercises are worth a quarter of your grade. Getting your hands dirty with code is the best way to learn and understand the application and impact of designing for the

web. Follow along with the book, complete the exercises based on what’s presented, and you’ll have no problem with this 25%.

Quizzes are another quarter of your grade. Take your time with the questions, and truly reflect on what you learned during the chapters. Before you take the quizzes, it is highly recommended that you review the Summary section of the chapter at the end. If there’s anything there you don’t fully understand, ask in the General Q&A.

Discussions will be extremely important in keeping ongoing connections with your peers in an online course, as well as helpful in seeing a “bigger picture” in your assignments and chapter readings. Web development is rarely ever done in a silo - you tend to collaborate with many other departments (marketing, communications, ux, sales, etc) in a company to ensure alignment in perspective of the bigger picture.

Midterm will be an exam over what you learned through the midpoint of the semester. The beautiful part about this class is that we’ll learn and complete examples that build on the previous week’s work, which will help with your overall understanding once we hit midterm.

Professionalism and Creativity are worth a total of 10%. This is far more subjective of a grade than your quizzes, discussions, or assignments. Dotting i’s, crossing t’s, and thinking outside of the box will be assessed across all of your projects at the end of the term. Make sure you submit all your assignments according to the naming conventions specified on the assignment page (where applicable) and add your own flair to your work.

Office Hours

Office hours will be conducted by appointment to best accommodate instructor/students’

schedules. To schedule office hours, kindly send me an email with a few dates/times and I’ll respond back to confirm a time to meet.

Communication

For general questions, please use the General Q&A thread; I monitor this thread routinely. If you have a personal matter or question, you’d like to discuss, please send me a message directly over Canvas messaging. I will try to respond to your questions as quickly as possible, but please allow 24 hours for a response.

Canvas

• Be willing to speak up if issues arise,

• Access the resources available to you; reaching out for assistance is a critical life skill - NOT an indication of weakness,

• Give proper time and attention to discussion responses,

• Be willing and able to commit 10 - 15 hours per week to this course,

• Be willing to meet deadlines set,

• Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of the learning process.

How to Fail this Course

• Delay assignments to the last minute,

Netiquette

Your instructor and fellow students wish to foster a safe in-person and online learning

environment. All opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse. You are encouraged to comment, question, or critique an idea, but you are not to attack an individual. Our differences will add richness to this learning experience. Please consider that sarcasm and humor can be misconstrued in online interactions and generate unintended disruptions. Working as a community of learners, we can build a polite and respectful course ambience. Please read the Netiquette rules for this course:

• Monitor how much space/time you are taking up in any discussion. Give other students the opportunity to join in the discussion,

• Do not use offensive language. Present ideas appropriately.

• Keep an “open-mind” and be willing to express even your minority opinion.

• Think, review, and edit before you push the ‘Submit’ button.

• Seek and take in feedback from others; learning from other people is an important life skill.

Missed or Late Work

Missed assignments may only be made up when you notify me ahead of time with an explanation and plan for completion. These requests will be accepted at my discretion and may include a point penalty of 5% per day late. Asking for an extension does not guarantee it will be granted.

Academic Integrity

It is critical that your work, actions, and understanding of facts be with the utmost integrity. This is a foundational course in your career; regardless of your track. Failure to maintain honesty and integrity in your work will not only result in severe disciplinary actions (such as expulsion from the college/district), but will also fail to establish a solid foundation in your conceptual

understanding of the industry, jeopardizing your ongoing education in the field.

COVID-19

As we continue to mitigate unprecedented changes throughout the year, please continue to follow Los Angeles Community College District’s COVID-19 updates for the latest information

regarding impacts on, and around, campus. If you are experiencing COVID-19 related-

symptoms, or are tending to immediate family who may be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, and your coursework may be at risk please contact me directly and we can discuss options on a case-by-case basis.

Student Services

You can find a comprehensive list of services on the LAMC website.

Standards for Student Conduct

Dishonesty, such as cheating or knowingly furnishing false information to instructors and college personnel, turning in work that is not one’s one will be grounds for disciplinary action at LAMC according to the Standards of Student Conduct as described on the LAMC Catalog. The penalty may range from no credit for the assignment up to an “F” grade and disciplinary action. Students are expected to adhere to all school policies, and to abide by the standards of student conduct as described in the Los Angeles Mission College Catalog. Any infringement upon the rights of other students in the class will not be tolerated. Please refer to LACCD Board Rul 9800 for further information.

Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSP&S)

LAMC students with verified disabilities who are requesting academic accommodations should use the following procedure:

1. Obtain documentation of your disability from a licensed professional. You can use the LAMC Disability Verification Form. Students exiting high school can use their IEP as a qualifying document.

2. Make an appointment with a Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSP&S) Counselor or Specialist to review your documentation and discuss reasonable accommodations. Please call DSP&S at (818) 364-7732 or use the Online Counter Support on the DSP&S page to schedule an eCounseling appointment.

3. Bring your disability documentation to your DSP&S eCounseling appointment, which will be held through Cranium Café. Be sure to use a laptop or computer with Chrome or Firefox (no smart phones) and a working video camera and microphone.

4. Every semester, you are required to meet with your DSP&S Counselor to review your academic progress and accommodation letter. After meeting with them, your written accommodation agreement will be emailed to your professor(s).

Please complete this process in a timely manner to allow adequate time to provide

accommodation. Students who have questions with technology accessing Cranium Café or the webpage should send an email to Online Counter Support for further assistance; contact Adrian Gonzalez at [email protected] or Rachel Povolotsky at [email protected].

Wearing Masks/Facial Covering on Campus

In compliance with Health Orders from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the Los Angeles Community College District, Board Policy 2800, approved August 4, 2021, all students, employees and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, shall wear a mask or face covering while inside any District building, classroom, library, gymnasium, facility or other indoor setting. These requirements are in place to fulfill the Board’s statutory obligation to protect its students, faculty, employees and visitors from the risks associated with the spread of infectious diseases, including the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its variants.

Students who fail to wear a mask/face covering while indoors at all LACCD colleges and facilities, including classrooms, will be asked to either comply or to leave the classroom

immediately. Continued failure to comply constitutes a violation of the Student Code of Conduct as outlined in Board Policy 5500 and students may be subject to further disciplinary action.

Pursuant to Education Code Section 76032, students may be removed from class for up to two (2) class sessions for refusing to wear the mask/face coverings required by this Board Policy.

Further or repeated offenses may result in discipline pursuant to Education Code, Board Rules, and Board Policy.

Exceptions to the mask/facial covering requirement are that the student has a valid medical exception currently on file in their college’s Disabled Student Programs and Services / Office of Special Services (DSPS/OSS) office, such as a medical condition, including mental health or disability, that prevents wearing a mask, or, for students who are hearing impaired or

communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication. To facilitate sign language use in the classroom, faculty and sign- language interpreters may remove their face covering for instruction purposes only. In such cases, faculty and interpreters must maintain six feet of distance from all others in the classroom.

Should any student have an approved exemption from wearing a mask/face covering, they must also maintain six feet of distance from all others.

To keep our students, employees, and visitors safe, LACCD requires all students, employees, and visitors to be assessed for COVID-19 symptoms each day before entering any LACCD campus or facility. Please complete the Campus Check-In Questionnaire every day that you visit our campus.

If You Have COVID-19 Symptoms

1. Immediately home-quarantine for 10 days

2. Get tested at any LACDPH test sites immediately at a testing location near you 3. Call your doctor/healthcare provider for further direction

4. Continue to monitor symptoms between 11 to 14 days and seek care if symptoms escalate.

5. Contact me so I will know why you are absent and can make proper arrangements for your learning.

6. Make arrangements for any further class/work accommodations if needed.

7. Seek medical attention immediately if you are having difficulty breathing or keeping fluids down.

If You Are Exposed to Someone with COVID-19

Individuals who are known to have had close contact¹ with a person presumed or confirmed to have COVID-19 should be sent home immediately to self-monitor and quarantine for 10 days following the last contact with the person. Please notify me so that I will know why you are absent from class, and we will make proper arrangements for your learning.

NOTE: Persons with a confirmed exposure who are either 1) fully vaccinated and have no symptoms OR 2) have already recovered from laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 within the last

1A “close contact” refers to any of the following people who were exposed to a patient with presumed or confirmed COVID-19 (“patient”) while they were infectious*:

• An individual who was within six (6) feet of the patient for a total of 15 minutes or more within a 24-hour period

• An individual who had unprotected contact with the patient’s body fluids and/or secretions, for example, being coughed or sneezed on, sharing utensils or saliva, or providing care without wearing appropriate protective equipment.

*A patient with presumed or confirmed COVID-19 is considered to be infectious from two (2) days before their symptoms started until their isolation period ends (see When is someone infectious). Asymptomatic patients with a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection are considered to be infectious from two (2) days before their test was taken until 10 days after their test was taken.

90 days are exempt from quarantining or testing for COVID-19. However, these persons should still self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days following the exposure.

If You Test Positive for COVID-19

If you test positive for COVID, please notify me immediately. This information is critical for contact tracing and saving lives. In addition, I will be informed about why you are absent and can make proper arrangements for your learning.
