Policies
Students are expected to attend or view every class. Attendance will be informally kept even though it is not a part of the course grade.
The midterm exam and the final exam are proctored, written exams. Students must either complete them in class on the assigned day or arrange for a proctored exam following DePaul CDM policy.
The two quizzes can be either taken in class or at the student's convenience. Credit is awarded by providing a reflective statement and submitted to D2L by its due date.
The goal of assignments is to practice the concepts taught in class. You are expected to do your own assignments. However, some collaboration with other students is allowed and even encouraged. The following types of collaboration are allowed:
- Discussing strategies for solving a problem
- Explaining why a Web page does not work
- Reviewing and testing someone else's Web pages
- Using HTML and JavaScript code provided by the instructor and texts
The following types of collaboration are not allowed:
- Copying someone else's JavaScript code
- Copying code from an online source
- Literally telling someone what code to write
Engaging in these last two types of collaboration will be considered a violation of the university's policy on academic integrity. Violators will receive a 0 for the corresponding assignment and will be reported as required by the policy.
Late assignments will be accepted up to three days late with a one point penalty. Assignments submitted more than 3 days after the due date will not be accepted without an excused, emergency-based absence.
Additional assignments for extra credit will not be offered.
All grade challenges must be submitted in writing and include an explanation why the given score or grade should be reconsidered.
