Wiki Based Classes - All Students Read
The class management for these courses is wiki based. The classes are Assignment Based.
I constantly add information to help with the assignments so even if you have started with an assignment it is worthwhile to look at it on a regular basis.
You are graded on your ability to DO, not your ability to regurgitate information. I also do give credit to students who help me with more (useful) information for the class - this is called your contribution grade.
How the Class Works
This class is assignment based and you should start with the assignments. There are 2 components to the course; this wiki site and the Florida Online site. The Web Courses site is where you will turn in assignments and post to the bulletin boards and do all those Web Courses type of items. This site is where all the course content resides. A simple course syllabus is available at COP 4813 Syllabus

Step 1 - Start with the Assignments START HERE
Everything in this course is about completing the assignment. These are real practical assignments similar to the real types of jobs you would be facing as a web developer. Your first assignment is ALWAYS setting up your own domain and web site.
COP4813 Assignments <- Here are the assignments (80% of grade)
COP4813 Student Project (20% of Grade)
Step 2 - Use the Lectures
There are no weekly assigned lectures or video's to watch - you are responsible for viewing the video and course content necessary for you to successfully complete the assignments. Suggested video segments are on each assignment page.
