XI. Policy on absences and tardies The instructor needs to be informed of all abscences before the missed class. An attendance sheet will be passed around at the beginning of class. If your name is missing you are absent. You will not be allow to sign the attendance sheet 10 minutes after the instructor hands it out. More than 5 absences will reduce your grade by 10%. More than 10 absences and the instructor will consider dropping the student. 
XII. Policy on late work If a student needs more time on an assigment, the instructor needs to be contacted before the assigment is due. At most an additional week of time will be given for assignments. 
XIII. Policy on academic dishonesty Academic dishonesty will be treated in accordance with Mesa State rules. The professor will be gathering information that will facilitate checking that students are doing their own work. 
XIV. Disability Arrangements In coordination with Educational Access Services, reasonable accommodations will be provided for qualified students with disabilities. Please contact EAS at 248-1856, or in person at 1020 Elm Ave., across the street from Monument Hall. Please meet with the instructor the first week of class to discuss accommodations for this class.
XV. Evaluation and grading Tests and assignments will be graded on a combination of objective and subject basis. Students that do more than is required on an assignment, and demonstrate the knowledge of web page development will achieve higher grades. The major goal of this class is to produce a quality static web site that serves some purpose.
XVI. Major Assignments The most important assignment will be the development of your own web pages. Progress on the content and structure of these pages will be the major component of your course grade.
