Withdrawal from Class

Course Objectives

This course will show you how to use Dreamweaver 8 to build a database-driven website. It will leverage the power of Dreamweaver code generating capability. The course will cover basic skill in using DW, PHP, MySQL, SQL. We will use PHP as generated by Dreamweaver but note that THIS IS NOT A COURSE IN PHP! If you like to learn more PHP, take a course in the Comsc department at DVC. To be successful, you need to have access to a PHP/MySQL environment. You can set this up on your local machine following the instruction in your book or use an account that will be provided by the instructor during the 1st week of Feb.

Grading

I use a point system based as follows:

Homeworks
70%

Quizes
10%

Project
20%

I will then assign grades using the following formula:

90-100% of Total Number of Points = A
70-79% of Total Number of Points = C

80-89% of Total Number of Points = B
60-69% of Total Number of Points = D

Credit (CR) is equal to a C or better
No Credit (NC)is equal to a D or less
Less than 60% = F

That's It If you have any Questions just Email me at
