communication for your own classrooms.

Class Format
Classes consist of instructor’s presentation, discussion, and hands-on laboratory
experience. Active participation in the class is the most important factor for your success.
Due to the constraints of a cohort course, the majority of assignments should be
completed during class time. However, access to computing resources outside of class
will be beneficial for practice and experience with the various web design tools.

extensions for late assignments, and no incompletes or extensions will be given for the
course. However, assignments may be resubmitted for possible grade changes up until the

As a hybrid course, a significant portion of this course will take place online. We will be

asynchronously and synchronously. You are expected to stay current on the materials, and
participate as needed in live online events.
You are also expected to participate in class discussion and activities, and communicate
with the instructor as needed. Professionalism is expected at all times in your treatment of
others in the class.
