Cheating on examinations or tests consists of knowingly giving, receiving, or using, or attempting to give, receive or use, unauthorized assistance. Other forms of cheating include copying or purchasing other's work or arranging for others to do work under a false name. Forms of plagiarism include the submission of the work of another source or person without giving proper acknowledgement or credit to that source or individual. This would also include unacknowledged paraphrasing of the work of another or others either by direct quote or rewording another person's idea, thought or work.

Homework

There will be a midterm exam and a final exam in this course. These exams will be in the form of projects where the student will be provided some unformatted HTML files and will be expected to format them into an effective web presentation using CSS.

Software Requirements

The student will need to have access to a text editing software application in order to construct CSS styles. The Notepad application will be adequate for writing CSS. However using Notepad Plus would be a better alternative because it uses code coloring which helps greatly. If you are currently enrolled in the HTML & Dreamweaver class then using Dreamweaver would be a much better alternative.
