Course Description:
This course is an introduction to creating and managing business web pages and sites using Microsoft FrontPage. In the course, the student will learn how to create web sites and use templates or design wizards, enhance and add graphic features to web pages, create tables and frames, work with HTML forms, databases, and publish and maintain several webs. Also, Sound, DAP, application (HTML) documents, and the HTML structure will be explored. Each student will develop their own major business web page, and present it to the class. Eight special lab assignments will be assigned during the course. Sound recording/scanning/video will be explored. Basic experience with the Windows operating system is assumed.
Text/Materials:
Text:
Jessica Evans, Microsoft® Office FrontPage® 2003 - Illustrated Complete, Course Technology, 2004.
Project files: Instructor will provide instructions for obtaining the Project files.
Windows XP will be used.
Software: Microsoft
FrontPage 2003, Internet Explorer 6.
Handouts: Additional handouts may be provided during the course.
It is the students' responsibility to make any arrangement necessary to obtain a personal tutor. The instructor will not be the student's personal web designer to design and develop the student's personal/business web site (project). The student is required to learn the course concepts, and then create and develop their own personal/business web site. The student must design and develop their web site independently, and use the online course information and the instructor as guidelines. The instructor will not install software on the student's personal computer at the students' home or business. The students are responsible and accountable for their own personal property. No cell phones, recorders, camcorders, or any other electrical device is allowed in the classroom without the permission of the instructor. No guests or children are allowed without the permission of the instructor or the Business Office.
Teaching Methods:
- Lectures/Demonstrations: The first half of each class will be
used to highlight the important material within each unit using
interactive discussions, group work, handouts, and computer demos.
- Labs: The last half of each class is
dedicated to hands-on learning, facilitated by the instructor. You will work at your own pace during
this portion of the class to solidify the lesson material or to begin work
on the weekly projects. Also, class lab assignments will be required. Scanners/sound recording will be
explored. Databases will be applied to a site.
- Projects:
Each case project is at the end of each chapter.
Projects that correlate to chapters will be assigned by the class
schedule throughout the course. Also, class lab assignments will be required.
- Quizzes:
Three quizzes will be given.
Exam exercises are from the class notes/exercises/ lecture/labs/text.
- Internet Support Note some chapters require
Internet access; for some FrontPage features to work, you will also need
Internet access.

Course Policies:
Top
Missed Classes:
You are responsible for the
activities of each class period. If you
know of a conflict ahead of time, you are welcome to submit projects early.
There is no absolute right to a make up test unless you have an acceptable
excuse. If you do not take a test on the scheduled day and have an excuse,
contact me for a makeup quiz. Makeup
quizzes are typically more rigorous than the regularly-scheduled test (i.e. You
may be asked to complete two or three Independent Challenges instead of only
one.)
Assignments:
All assignments are due at the
beginning of class on the date due. Late assignments receive half credit.
Academic Dishonesty:
Plagiarism and cheating are
serious offenses and may be punished by failure on an exam, paper or project;
failure in the course; and/or expulsion from the College. For more information
refer to the "Academic Dishonesty" policy in the College Catalog.
Need for Assistance:
If you have any condition,
such as a physical or learning disability for which you need extra assistance,
please see me immediately. If you have
already met with Special Services, please provide me with information regarding
your special need as soon as possible so that appropriate accommodations can be
made.
