Credits:  2
Latin Honors Designation:  M (Math);  Note that 4 credits are needed to satisfy a L.H. field. [The course CSC 102 also carries 2 credits of M.]
Dates: Tuesday Mar 23rd to Thursday Apr 29th (6 weeks). See Syllabus for details.
Location: Seelye 212 for all classes.
Meeting Times:

There is no formal, separate Lab. Instead, the labs are integrated into nearly every class.
Textbook: There is no textbook for this class. Instead we will rely on the documentation online at www.w3cschools.com.
Enrollment: Limited to 30, but I am very flexible—I want to accommodate every interested student.
Enrollment Status:31 in the class 23Mar. I cannot add any more. Please instead investigate Section 01.
Assignments:  There will be three one-week assignments, one per week, comprising 50% of the course grade. There will a fourth two-week Web site aassignment for 20% of the grade.
Quizzes: There will be four (untimed, self-scheduled) quizzes, one per week, comprising 20% of the course grade. They will be based largely on the reading, but not solely. The quizzes will be in Moodle. See Assignment and Quiz Rules.
Web access: name=105, pass=105.
Assignments/Quizzes Schedule: Always due Thursday at midnight (i.e., 12:01AM Friday). This gives us time to go over the material in class during the week, and gives me time to evaluate your submissions by the following Monday.

• Attendance & Participation (questions, etc.): 10%
• Three one-week Assignments: 50%
• Four Quizzes: 20%
• Final Web Site: 20%

S/U Grading Option: I encourage you to consider the S/U grading option to relieve stress and just learn. The Registrar's web site says the deadline to change grading option is Fri, April 16th. One can still satisfy Latin Honors with a course taken S/U, incidentally.
