No credit will be awarded for late conference participation.
There are a total of 4 assignments and 1 term project. Each assignment will be posted to the weekly Class Announcement and the Conference area. The assignments may consist of writing web pages, using various Internet tools. The textbook and the class lecture will serve as a resource for the assignments. All Assignments are to be turned in on time. Unless excused, late assignments will get a 20% lower grade. Late assignments will not be accepted after one week. The projects are designed to give you practical experience with the theory presented. You will need to spend considerable time working on these projects. If you have trouble with the projects, please seek help from me. Do not wait until the last minute to begin work on your projects. You must do all homework programming projects by yourself.
