Syllabus for CS 101 -- Web Site Construction Randy Appleton 2214 JXJ rappleto@nmu.edu Intro CS 101 is a web site for people who want to learn to make web sites. I will assume you've never made a web site before but have basic computer literacy skills. If you've been programming for years or are still trying to figure out this "mouse" thing please come see me. You are welcome to eat and drink in class. It's OK to be somewhat silly in class. Playing video games or IMing in class is not allowed. There will be many homeworks. These will be worth 30% of the final grade. There will be two midterms, each with 10%, and a final worth 20%. There will be some quizzes too (30%). I might adjust these percentages. CHEATING Copying someone else's code is cheating. Do NOT copy more than three lines of code without attribution!
