Course Objectives:
Students will learn to design and create web pages using HTML and applications such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Flash. Students will understand sound design fundamentals. Projects will include an online portfolio appropriate for college applications and a website for a project, event or organization.

Expectations:
It is expected that you will reach your academic potential and that you will contribute to making the class a positive learning environment. In order to achieve this you will need to be, among other things organized, prepared and punctual. Any behaviour that interferes with not only your learning but also the learning of others is taken very seriously and will have consequences.

Assessment
Grades are calculated by averaging the students total points earned over a quarter. There will be grade for projects, quizzes, class work, and participation (10%). 50% for each quarter determines the semester grades. There is no extra credit work. The Honor Code is strictly enforced. There will be no Semester Exam.

Within each section the assessments will be weighted according to their level of difficulty and the time involved. For example. a project that takes two weeks would have a greater weight than a one-day classroom activity.

Participation includes organization, attendance and punctuality, being prepared, making meaningful contributions, having a positive attitude towards learning, cooperating with others, intellectual curiosity, perseverance, patience, team work, working safely, accepting challenges and follows the acceptable use policy.
