Expectations
|
Although
your instructor may log into the online class at other times, you can
expect her to check in once per day Monday - Friday. Your instructor will
not answer each and every forum posting, since students earn participation
points for responding to classmates. Along with the instructor, students
can look to his/her classmates who can ask and answer questions on the
discussion forums.

Course Requirements

Textbook
|
We will be learning various Internet topics along with HTML 5 and CSS.
Discovering the Internet: Complete, 5th Edition- 2015, Jennifer Campbell, Course Technology, Cengage
Learning. ISBN 978-1-285-84540-1.
Please note that students who wait 3 or 4 weeks to obtain the textbook
or never obtain the textbook have a very difficult time succeeding in this
course. For those on a tight budget, there are a couple of copies of the
textbook on 3 hour reserve at the Rosenberg
Library on the Ocean campus.

|
Computer
Access
|
This
is an online class. As such you are expected to have access to either a PC
or MAC computer with an Internet connection that meets the minimum
requirements as listed by Insight. Your computer and Internet access should
be dependable. For an online class it is the student's responsibility to
have a backup plan in case the computer he/she normally uses to access this
online class is not functioning properly or is not available. Do not wait
until the last hour to complete the weekly assignments. Exam and assignment
deadlines will not be extended due to individual computer or Internet
connection problems. For your information, CCSF has several PC and MAC computer labs
available to students throughout the week.

CCSF
Student E-mail Account
|
All
CCSF students have been issued a CCSFmail account
which ends in @mail.ccsf.edu. All important information from your
instructor and the school will be sent to this student e-mail account. It is
your responsibility to monitor this account throughout the semester. For
more information on this account and how to forward messages to an
alternative account, please refer to http://www.ccsf.edu/News/gmail.htm

Class
Attendance
|
Class attendance is required. In an online class this means logging into
the class as well as engaging academically in course activities
such as quizzes, forums, and assignments. You are required to log into the
class at least once per week, although 3 or 4 times per week is
recommended. I am required to drop any student who does not log in AND
engage academically in course activities for more than 2 1/2 weeks.
Although I reserve the right to drop any student for lack of attendance,
students should not depend on me to do so. It is the student's
responsibility to complete the online form in Web4 that is needed to drop
or withdraw from this class. If you simply stop attending class, you will
probably receive a failing grade, FW (not F) for the course, which
indicates Failure for Non-participation.

technical or other difficulties at the last minute, you will still be
responsible for completing your test by the due date.

exceptions. There is no make-up final exam.
