Student Learning Outcomes : 1. The student will create a unique and significant midterm Project that incorporates the programming fundamentals of JavaScript. 2. The student will create a unique and significant final Project that incorporates form validation, global session memory and dynamic HTML. 3. Note: JavaScript programs will run successfully in a browser using various data types, variables, operators, expressions, statements, decisions, loops, functions, core objects, properties, and methods, including the Array, Math, String, and Date objects. |

Class Information Resources

COURSE STRUCTURE
Overview
This JavaScript course is a 16-week class that uses web technology to provide you with a flexible learning option. Intersessions are the same class offered in a 6 or 8 week session. An on-line class also gives you access to a wide range of information resources and allows you to study when it is most convenient for you. This type of class may be new to you. While you will enjoy greater flexibility in scheduling your study time, you will need to be self motivated and disciplined in setting your study schedule, completing course requirements, and exploring background resources. Some people are more suited to this type of distance learning class experience than others.
ASSIGNMENTS
Weekly Assignments
You will normal write programs covering the lesson's content. The assignment will be submitted back to me for evaluation. Assignments must be turned in on time which will be no later than Sunday Evening at 11:59 PM of the week it is assigned. Once the time has expired, then turn in what you have and proceed to the next lesson. (Note: I always make the online assignments open 24 to 48 hours past this time in case there are server problems. I wouldn't take regular advantage of this.)
Individual and Group Projects
These two projects are major assignments. There is a written part as well as a coded part. Just as in the homework assignments and exams, you will turn in files that I will run to evaluate your code. Prior to working on the project, you will gain ideas from your classmates in the discussion board. You will also provide a proposal to turn in for my approval. A written report will be required when the projects are due as well as running code.
