COURSE DESCRIPTION Fundamentals of Web Design is the second course in the Interactive Media Career Pathway. This course will provide students with essential web page planning and development skills. Students will learn to write code manually and use graphical authoring tools. Students will also learn to work with web page layout and graphical elements, including images, hyperlinks, tables, forms, and frames.

Upon completion of Advance Web Design course, students should have a thorough knowledge of all areas of web page design topics which includes the web development process, advanced layout and design features, advanced study of scripting languages, site development with HTML editors, and web servers and databases.

Mastery of these standards through project-based learning will help prepare students with a competitive edge for the global marketplace.

MAKE-UP WORK: You will be allowed to make up your missed work in accordance with school policy. If your absence is unexcused, you may NOT make up missed work. It is your responsibility to make up any work missed. You have the number of consecutive school days you were absent + one (1) day (but no more than 6 days total) to make up missed work. For absences longer than five (5) consecutive days, the Administration will decide the time to be allowed for make-up work.

I post assignments on a daily basis. It is YOUR responsibility to view assignment posted on the day that you missed, complete the assignment and submit according to the school policy in the handbook. Remember that EVERY day we learn something new, and it is important for you to learn each concept in order to be successful in the next step.

LATE WORK: Every assignment is expected to be turned in on its due date and in the appropriate class period. However, any assignment you turn in late will have points deducted based on the table below:

1 day late 2 days late 3 days late 4+days late -11 pts. -20 pts. -30 pts. Zero for that assignment

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES/EXPECTATIONS 1. Students are expected to be on time to class. In assigned seat when the bell rings.

Students are allowed 3 accumulative tardies and on the 4th tardy will receive discipline. 2. Assignments are posted daily on the network. Check on a daily basis. If you are absent, check posting for the day(s) missed. Daily attendance is extremely important for a successful semester.

It is the student’s responsibility to make-up work upon return from an excused absence. 3. Hall passes are limited; therefore, you should take care of personal needs before class. 4.
