Textbook: Learning Web Design: A Beginner's Guide to (X)HTML, StyleSheets, and Web Graphics by Jennifer Niederst Robbins and Aaron Gustafson, O'Reilly 2007

Required Materials: 1 USB Thumbdrive

Attendance: This class will present a lot of material in a short period of time. This material will be complicated, technical, and detail-oriented. Prompt attendance for all class periods is essential. If you are late consistently you will not get an A in this course. This course also requires at least 6 hours a week of outside lab time. You should consider this an absolute minimum. These kinds of projects require a lot of time and energy. They will be impossible to complete unless you work consistently throughout the semester. Always take the limitation of lab hours and technical problems into consideration when planning your projects and remember to save everything and then save a back up as well.

Grading: All work must be submitted for critique on the due date. FINAL GRADES for this class will be based upon the following:

1. Assignments (75%)
2. Participation in class discussions and critiques (25%)
