COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is intended as a first level web administration course required for all students at XYZ high school. Prior to taking this course, students should understand the fundamentals of computers, input and output devices, sending and receiving e-mail and basic knowledge of a website. 

REQUIRED MATERIALS
  • Notebook
  • Textbook
  • Pencils
  • Erasers

GRADES & SCORING
Every course assignment will have a total amount of points possible to earn, of which the student will earn some percentage. It is possible to earn over 100% on some assignments, however, the course average can be no more than 100%. Receiving a final average lower than 70% is considered a "fail" for this course and will require the student to repeat.

QUIZZES, TESTS & EXAMS
There will be one major exam per semester covering everything learned from the beginning of the course to that point in time. Exams are scheduled during the school wide exam period.

There will be tests on every unit of the syllabus. Tests will be preannounced.  All tests are worth a minimum of 100 points.

Quizzes may or may not be preannounced and will take up to 20 minutes to complete. They will be small in the scope of material that they cover.  All quizzes are worth 25 points.

PAPERS & PROJECTS
There will be one project per section on the syllabus. Some projects will be done in small groups, others will be done individually. At the time the assignment is distributed, the size of the group applicable to the project will be announced.

There are no planned papers for this course, although in some cases, for extra credit, the instructor may deem a paper appropriate.

ATTENDANCE & TARDINESS POLICY
In order to pass the course, students are required to attend 80% of the classes throughout the school year.  Only extreme (as deemed by the instructor) cases with documented proof will be exempt from this rule.

If a student arrives more than halfway into the class, they are considered absent for the entire period.
