Course Syllabus
- Instructor:
-
- Prerequisites:
-
Ability to use a browser to surf the web.
- Course Description:
-
As you learn HTML and JavaScript, you will also learn a variety of
elementary computer programming concepts. We will not be using the
fancy software packages that allow you to create web pages without
getting your hands dirty. Instead, we will be going "under the hood"
to see how web pages really work. If you're not interested in how web
pages work, this may not be the course for you.
- Coursework:
-
There is also a two-hour midterm exam and a two-hour final exam. You
will need to register with the U-Online office to take the exams at a
testing center. The exams are taken with pen and paper. You are
allowed to bring one sheet of notes to the midterm and two sheets of
notes to the final.
- System Requirements:
-
You can "attend" this class from anywhere that you have access to a
computer equipped with an Internet connection and a standard browser such as
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.
The assignments at the end of each
lesson are submitted, graded, and returned electronically.
- Materials:
-
All of the required course materials are included in the twelve online
lessons. You will not need to buy a textbook.
- Grading Policy
-
The course carries three semester hours. Each of the twelve
assignments will count for 5% of your final grade; the midterm will
count for 20% of your final grade; and the final will count for 20% of
