The Web-based Portfolio *Portal* is due on lecture# 6.

The Web-based Portfolio *Project* and the Cambridge Project are due on lecture# 24.

On lecture# 6, we will review each portal and assign a grade of check (+), check, or check (-). In assigning this grade, we will consider the functional aspects of your site; if your portal page appears (and images and links on the first page work), you receive a check (+). If your portal page appears, but the link(s) don't function or the image(s) don't appear, you receive a check. If we are unable to launch your portal page, you receive a check (-)...and we contact you via e-mail to discuss. This grade will be added to the letter grade you receive for the project at the end of the semester. For example, if you receive a check (+) on lecture# 6, and a "B" on lecture# 24, then your grade for the portfolio project will be a "B+." We expect that you will make improvements to your Web-based Portfolio Project throughout the semester (please ask for feedback at any time), but understand that the time you have to do so is limited.

In total, the laboratory exercises (Lab 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) account for 50% of your grade. They are weighted equally, and each is worth a total of ten points.

Finally, attendance and participation are a key ingredient. We expect to see you in class, and welcome your questions and input 24/7.
