Course Description
This course introduces the fundamentals of the Internet and Web Page Design
to students. Students will first learn the history and development of the
Internet along with proper procedures for research. Students will then learn
the basics of designing a web page using Macromedia Dreamweaver software
which is part of the Studio MX package.

College Credit
This course is available for two college credits for juniors/seniors with a
cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better through Western Wyoming Community
College. If you are taking this course for college credit, be sure to keep
this syllabus for transfer credit, proof of material covered, etc.

Grading:
Your grade will be based on the following:
 Daily Work/Assignments = 60%
 Common Assessments (4 Major Exams) = 30%
 Semester Final (Comprehensive) = 10%
The final grade will be determined on the following scale:
100 – 95% = A 76 – 73% = C
94 – 90% = A- 72 – 70% = C-
89 – 87% = B+ 69 – 67% = D+
86 – 83% = B 66 – 63% = D
82 – 80% = B- 62 – 60% = D-
79 – 77% = C+ less than 60% = F
Make Up Work
If you are absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out what
work has been missed. You have (1) one week to make up missing

Participation Policy
Students should be in class every day. One of the most significant
factors affecting school success is regular attendance. Doing make-up work,
getting notes from a friend, or reading from a book can never compensate for
the class experience where the teacher explains the material and the class has
the opportunity for guided interaction with the concept being studied.
Class Participation Includes:
 Being to class on time.
 Daily attendance.
 Involvement in discussion and group work.
 Being on task with the assigned work and completing assignments on time.
 Listening.
 Exhibiting good class behaviors.
 Internet, e-mail, and games only when approved by your teacher.

Participation Point Guidelines:


Participation will be as follows:
 Students will be in class on time and follow the above seven items. If a
student is behaving inappropriately or is not on task, discipline measures
will be taken.
 School-excused absences: the student is responsible to get the assigned
work before they leave. The class work missed due to these absences will
have to be made up by the student within five days.
 Excused absences: the teacher will allow the student to make-up the work
missed within the five-day period.
 Unexcused absences: the student will not be allowed to make up the work
missed.
 A student is tardy if he/she is not in the room when the bell rings. The
student will automatically serve detention on the third tardy and every one
thereafter.
 Excessive tardiness or absenteeism will result in a referral to the
administration.
