Course Policy
About this course
The goal of the class is for students to develop an understanding of how the Internet works and the principles of its design while becoming proficient in using popular Internet applications and WWW publishing tools. The skill-building portion of the course serves as a basis for understanding current Internet practices and for preparing to learn new Internet tools in the future. Finally, students will come away from the class with an appreciation of some important Internet information management and policy issues.
Class policies that you should be aware of:
- All assignment deadlines will be posted well in advance. You are responsible for discovering any deadline adjustments that the instructor announces during class.
- Late assignments will be significantly penalized.
- Homework assignments are pledged work. You are reminded of your obligations under the University Honor System, and policies regarding obtaining help will be discussed in class.
