By the end of this course students will be able to plan, design and construct a 5 page website in accordance with basic principles of effective web communication.

SBCC students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations for classes, campus activities or tests should use the following SBCC procedure.  (NOTE:  This also includes students who are requesting to bring service animals into classes.  The animals will be registered in DSPS.  The procedure also includes requests to bring personal service attendants into classes.  DSPS is required to submit board authorization forms for any classroom attendant who is not an SBCC employee.)

[1] Contact the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS) office.
[2] Submit documentation of your disability to the DSPS office.
[3] Communicate with a DSPS counselor regarding options for services and accommodations.
[4] Reach accommodation agreement with the DSPS counselor and your instructor.

SBCC requests you complete this process at least ten working days before your accommodation is needed, in order to allow DSPS staff time to provide your accommodation.

In this course, you gain an overview of the main processes and tools required to develop a professional website.

Here's how the class works...you will be given combination of lecture, readings, exercises, and discussion topics each week.

Lecture
I will be lecturing on Thursday from 5 - 7 pm. Attendance is mandatory. The lecture will coincide with a topic or set of tools that you will be encountering each week. It is your responsibility to read the lectures each week. The lectures are contained in each weekly module.

Reading/assignments/exercises
You will be asked to complete a set of activities each week. This means that you should first, read the materials completely and then do the exercises provided. Due dates will be posted in the assignment tool and in the calendar. If you have any question about the tools or topics, post them in the questions area of the discussion tool located within each weekly lesson. This way the whole class can benefit from the question and answer exchange. Many times your question(s) will be already answered here.

Lab
this is where you will work on your assignments and/or get help will any problems you are having

you may attend the lab at any one of these times:

• M 7 - 10pm: A171
• R 1 - 4 pm: A172
• Online (you can work from home if you have the software or in the open lab at your convenience)

Cell phone policy
If you are caught using a cellphone (includes texting) in class or if your cellphone rings during class, you will be asked to leave class for the day.
