NOTE: The server for this class is located in the East and thus the times shown there are EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) or EST (Eastern Standard Time).  Remember to subtract 3 hours from the server time to get the Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) or Pacific Standard Time (PST).

The lab assignments and links to lecture and supporting materials are found on the Cerritos College class web page(s) http://www.cerritos.edu/hohly.  Please refer to these pages for more information.  Make sure that you print out the separate sheet that contains the lab assignments.

The above schedule is subject to change. Changes will be announced through email or posted on the webct bulletin board. Revisions to schedule will be made to the syllabus and posted on the web page for this class. Lab, lectures notes, practice quizzes, and supporting materials for this class are posted on the WebCT server at http://ct.webct.com/ .  Enter your user ID and your password and press enter.  Then click on the New Perspectives on  HTML and XHTML - Comprehensive link.  (Note: Initially you will need to process your access code to access the WebCT web site.  Once this process is completed it will not be done again.) Your user ID is the the first letter of your first name and your last name in all lower case.   Your initial password is set to 'student.'   You will be asked to change your password when you first sign into the class website.  

Instructions to log on to the site will be provided during orientations.  It is the students responsibility to retrieve their assignments from the Web pages. All assignment must be submitted to your instructor via WebCT submission process.  They will ONLY be accepted via WebCT. 

Remember it is critical to keep in contact with your instructor.  If you have not been heard from  for 3 weeks or are not making academic progress you will be dropped from the class.

Academic Honesty:  The work submitted by each student in this class is expected to their own work, not the work of others.  Please review the college's Academic honesty policy which appears in the schedule of classes.  I will follow the policy and enforce the policy.  In Fall 2007 it appears on pages 137-138.  Don't put your credit in this course at risk by violating this policy.
