Grading Mechanics

Grades will always be posted on Monday. Each week you will receive a participation grade, and a grade for each of your websites. Any assignments done that week will be entered. You will also receive a final grade for each website of 50 points each. The final test will be the only quiz we do in this class. Websites will always be graded at the end of the week and will be considered late(1/2 off) if not ready by then.
Participation
You will be graded by the teacher on class participation. Since this is mostly a hands on class, 15 percent of your grade will be assigned for staying on task, not surfing the Internet, working on your websites, etc.
Assignments and Final Test
There will only be one test, a final test. The rest of this grade will be html exercises, assignments that are designed to teach you and give you practice with skills you will use on your webpages. Most of these assignments will be required, but a few of them are extra credit opportunities. It is more important to get the required exercises done than to do the extra credit. When you are completed with an exercise, it can be saved into a folder on the server to be grades. Rholl will grade them and then delete them. You should, of course, have your working copy on your home directory. Some homework will need to be emailed to the teacher. You must have an email account to do this. Rholl will show you how to set up a free account if you don't currently have one. This section will be worth 25 percent of your grade.
Websites
You are required to maintain and update 2 folders on your home directory, one for each website. The folder should contain all files for that website, including images. The folder should be titled with your first name and last name and either Personal or School(Ex.John.Smith.School). You may also wish to back up your two websites on a flash drive or floppy disk. These portable drives are also helpful for taking home websites to work on. For each website, name the html document that you wish a viewer to start with as index.htm.
Grading of the websites will be done every week at the end of the week. Another student will grade either your school or personal website each Friday. The other website will be graded by Rholl over the weekend. The following week we will flip/flop grading assignments so we each end up grading each website every other week. In the first weeks there will be a required new element that will be graded. For the remainder of the trimester, we will only grade on quality. Both teacher and students will use the same Grading Rubric. This section of the class is worth 60% of your grade(35%-school, 25%-personal).
