This course covers web programming in the Internet and interactive environment. Students will gain understanding of operating system usage on a server and interactive web system design. Languages used include HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP or Python. This is a four-credit course that meets for 150 minutes per week which requires three additional hours of class preparation per week on the part of the student in lieu of an additional hour of formal instruction

The purpose of this course is to learn to program on the web. This includes learning the HTML and CSS markup languages. Learning the JavaScript client programming language and learning PHP or Python and MySQL database running on the server side.

GRADES AND GRADING POLICY

Your final grade will be based on the following:

Midterm Exam - 30%
Final Exam - 30%
Homeworks - 30% (homeworks assigned later in semester have more % value)
Attendance & Class Participation - 10%

Details of Assignment and Evaluation.

Homework: Homeworks must be submitted on time by due date (often within 1 week after date assigned).
- Late submission will severely impact your homework grade, or may not be accepted altogether, especially after discusion of solution.
- All program code must be properly indented as shown in class. No exception. If not properly indented, homework will not be accepted.
- All program code and program output must be uploaded separately (do not zip). If output is not provided, points will be deducted.
- Homeworks assigned later in the semester have more point average weight than homeworks assigned early in the semester.
- Homework will not be accepted via email unless preauthorized by Professor or TA.
- Do not use the JavaScript*Tester or PHP*Tester or Python*Tester to submit your homework.
Midterm Exam: There will be a midterm exam. The exam will be an open book, open notes/internet style exam. The exam will test the student's acquisition of topics, concepts and competencies learned by midterm.
Final Exam: There will be a final exam. The exam will be an open book, open notes/internet style exam. The exam will test the student's acquisition of topics, concepts and competencies learned in this class. The final exam will not be cumulative. It will only include topics covered/discussed since the midterm exam.

Class Attendance and Participation: To receive full credit for the course, you must attend all classes since much of the learning occurs during class presentation and discussions. Please contact the instructor ahead of time if you anticipate missing any part of the class. Grades will be based on:

Involvement in class discussions and activities
Student must ask at least one question and/or respond to Professor or other student inquiry during each session
Quality/quantity of providing effective feedback and responses.

Fordham Grade Scale

Grades are FINAL.

Please do not negotiate for a better grade. Instructor will compute grades to 2 decimal places. If you are expecting to receive a grade of an "A" at the end of the semester, then I expect you to attend all sessions, to participate in class, to turn in your homeworks on time, and to keep up with the class reading material. If you see yourself falling behind do not hesitate to ask for help. This will ensure that you stay current with the class, and will ensure that you get a good grade on your work.

Please Note: Professor will not entertain any request for assignment "redo" or extra credit assignment to improve grade

Statement on Academic Integrity:

Fordham University is a high level academic institution that takes academic integrity very seriously. Students must present their own original work. Students suspected of violating this policy including cheating and/or plagiarism and/or copying from others or published materials on assignments or exams will be severely penalized for their action.
