Course Description: |
This course emphasizes how to plan, design, and develop Web sites that are
visually appealing and easy to navigate. The experienced programmer will
learn how to develop and test HTML code. Using leading software tools such as
HomeSite, Dreamweaver,
and Adobe Photoshop, students will learn to build Web pages and to create and
manipulate digitized images. Principles of composition and design are
illustrated, and tools and techniques of the software packages are
demonstrated. Coursework consists of skill-based exercises and original
projects. Project requirements are based on the use of art as a medium for
conveying an extrinsic message. Evaluation is based on creativity,
originality, use of fundamental design principles, mastery of technique, and
overall effectiveness of designs. Peer reviews will be used to help students
develop an appreciation for different design methods and a better
understanding of their designs. |

Policies: Attendance: Regular attendance is required and expected. Any class sessions missed by the student are the student's responsibility to make up, not the instructor's. Some Individual Assignments will be done as take homework, and some assignments will be completed in class. There is no makeup for missed assignments that are completed in class. Group Projects: Each student will be assigned a website project to work on. Groups will consist of 3 class members. If 1 class member drops the course, the group of 2 will remain intact. If a group loses 2 members and only 1 student is left, they can choose to be reassigned to another group or continue to work on the project on their own. Students are expected to have consistent communication with their groups. Each group member will 'grade' their other group members, this grade can positively or negatively impact the student’s individual grade for the project. Project Milestones/Exams: You must be in attendance for Project Milestone dates and Exam dates. If you have an exceptional situation where you are not able to be in class these days, you must get with me before the class and we will discuss your options. If you miss a Project Milestone date or an exam without discussing the situation with me first, you will receive a 0. |

|
Email Policy: Electronic Devices |
|
|
In order to minimize the level of distraction, all beepers and cellular phones must be on quiet mode during class meeting times. Students who wish to use a computer/PDA for note taking need prior approval of the instructor since key clicks and other noises can distract other students. Recording of lectures by any method requires prior approval of the instructor. Students using a laptop in class should not check their email, browse the web, or in other way detract from the focus of the class. |

|
Classroom Behavior |
|
|
Students are reminded to conduct themselves in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provision. For more details, visit http://ww.kennesaw.edu/academicaffairs/acadpubs/ucat2003-04/x.genpolicies%20.pdf . Students who are in violation of this policy will be asked to leave the classroom and may be subject to disciplinary action by the University. |
|
|
Student Email and Web Account Access: |
|
|
KSU uses a central authentication server that will allow one username and
password to be used by all KSU users to access an increasing variety of
applications (email, WebCT etc.) This unified
network identification is referred to as your "NetID".
The source for university-provided email and web space for students is
located at http://students.kennesaw.edu
. Students have access to this system once they have established
their NetID. This system will provide email
service through a web based interface, FTP and SFTP. Web Address: |

APA Documenting Examples: All MSIS students are required to have a copy of the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual, available in the KSU bookstore and elsewhere. When any portion of another author's work is used, whether it be from a course textbook or outside work, including the
World Wide Web, in whole, in part, or paraphrased, that work must be cited.
Proper citation formats are provided on the reverse of this document. Failure
to do so can result in Academic Misconduct Proceedings. There are two components to a proper citation: the text citation and the reference or endnote. The text citation will usually consist of the author's or authors' last name(s) and the year of the publication. The endnote citation will read as follows: Books A reference for a single-author book: North, M. M. (1996). Virtual reality technology. A reference for a multi-author book: North, M. M. & Blade, R. A. (1998). How to build skills for
research. Journals Journal Reference: Kelly, F. G. (1997). Networking made efficient. Journal of Computer Networking, 45(3),54-61.

Academic Integrity Statement: |
|
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty, including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement. Students are encouraged to study together and to work together on class assignments and lab exercises; however, the provisions of the STUDENT CONDUCT REGULATIONS, II. Academic Honesty, KSC Undergraduate Catalog will be strictly enforced in this class. Frequently students will be provided with take-home exams or exercises. It
is the student's responsibility to ensure they fully understand to what
extent they may collaborate or discuss content with other students. No exam
work may be performed with the assistance of others or outside material
unless specifically instructed as permissible. If an exam or assignment is
designated no outside assistance this includes, but is not limited to, peers,
books, publications, the Internet and the WWW. If a student is instructed to
provide citations for sources, proper use of citation support is expected.
