Grading Mechanics

Grades will always be posted on Monday. Each week you will receive a participation grade, and a grade for your websites(your own will be one grade and upgrading existing ones a second grade). Any programming projects done that week will be entered. You will receive a final grade for your website of 50 points each. You will also receive a final grade for your updates of existing websites of 50 points each. The final test will be the only paper/pencil work 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. Each time you are off task, I remove participation points. This is mostly an independent study clas and you will use this curriculum, the HTML book, the Java book, and the Internet as your teacher. I will, of course, be there to answer questions and will do some lecturing depending on the class.
Final Test
There will only be one written test, a final quiz on Java and digital video. The test will count in the Assignments/Quiz category worth 25%.
Programming Projects
There will be several "programming projects". They are similar to the "exercises" you did in the first 2 trimesters but more complicated. Since they are more complicated, you will have fewer of them. These projects will be saved into a folder on the school webserver. Rholl will grade them and then delete them. You should, of course, have your working copy on the C drive of your computer as a backup. This section will be worth 25 percent of your grade.
Websites
You are required to maintain and update PC formatted floppy disks, one for each website. The floppies should contain the entire folder for that website, including images. The disk should be titled with your first initial and last name and the name of the Park Center organization that disk is for.(Ex.JSmith-Football). Of course, your working copy will be on the C drive of your computer therefore the disk is merely a backup and a means of turning in a website to Rholl. 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. You will grade your work on each website each week, as will Rholl. Both you and Rholl will use the same Grading Rubric. You will be only graded on quality. You must also turn in a weekly weblog describing changes you made. This section of the class is worth 60% of your grade(35%-your new site, 25%-updating).
