It is your responsibility to drop and withdraw from this course. If you find you cannot complete this course, you will need to drop it in order to avoid getting an F. I will not drop or withdraw you if it appears to me that you have been active in the course. To avoid being dropped, you need to work in the course at least once a week. I do not sign late drop forms. Following is the stated District policy:
You must attend at least one course meeting activity prior to August 30th. This will demonstrate that you intend to complete the coursework. If you do not attend the course regularly prior to this date, you will be dropped from the course for non-attendance and your seat will be opened up to allow someone on the waiting list to add the course by the last day to add.
Students, please discuss your plans to withdraw from class with me. There may be other options for you that may allow you to continue in class.

Students are expected to respect and obey standards of student conduct while in class and on the campus. The student Code of Conduct, disciplinary procedure, and student due process (Policy 310, 3100.1 and 3100.2) can be found in the current college catalog in the section Academic Information and Regulations and at the office of the Dean of Student Affairs. Charges of misconduct and disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students who violate these standards of conduct or provisions of college regulations.
Cheating and plagiarism: Students are expected to be honest and ethical at all times in the pursuit of academic goals. Students who are found to be in violation of Administrative Procedure 3100.3 Honest Academic Conduct, will receive a grade of zero on the assignment, quiz, or exam in question and may be referred for disciplinary action in accordance with Administrative Procedure 3100.2, Student Disciplinary Procedures.
My philosophy as your instructor:
Learning is a community endeavor. There is an amazing amount of skill and knowledge in the class as a whole that one instructor cannot hope to duplicate. Students + teacher, blended together, we will help one another to build a strong learning foundation in our classroom.
How we will achieve this together:
Students with disabilities who may need academic accommodations should discuss options with the Disabled Students Program and Services (DSPS) immediately.
Call or visit Disabled Students Program and Services (DSPS) located
on the San Diego Mesa College campus. Contact information is listed on the DSPS webpage: http://www.sdmesa.edu/dsps/

OPTIONAL:![]() Fourth Edition ISBN-13:978-0-321-78407-0 by Larry Ullman |
Supplies:
1. USB drive
2. Access to the internet
3. Software for writing HTML (Dreamweaver, Notepad++, Eclipse, NetBeans), MySQL, and PHP (XAMPP, MAMP, or USB Webserver)
Buy your textbook anywhere that meets your needs. Check the book name and ISBN numbers on the sites below carefully as publishers often change their links as new books are added to their stock; since the prices change periodically, carefully check the price online.
Software: Dreamweaver CS6 PC or Mac (If you do not have Dreamweaver, go to the Learning Resource Center, fourth floor, or K404 at Mesa College.) This class will use Dreamweaver CS6 to be in sync with the software at Mesa College. You can also use NetBeans or Eclipse, if you prefer.
NOTE: There are minor differences between the PC and the Mac version.
You can purchase your software anywhere. (Prices and software packages subject to change. Follow the links to confirm the current prices and packaged software configurations.)
The Foundation for California Community Colleges
The Foundation for the California Community Colleges has
negotiated a special price for students, for both Mac and PC. Select
the software package that needs your educational needs; pricing and
software offerings can change at anytime CollegeSoftware.org.
Dreamweaver CS6 = about $125 (link straight to Dreamweaver software) http://www.journeyed.com/dept/Brands/Adobe/284060?SKW=ADSELECT1
You can buy either Dreamweaver alone or one of the bundles. The Foundation's software discount site features software from Adobe, Microsoft and more!
Mesa College Bookstore http://www.bookstore.sdccd.edu/mesa/ has a variety of software. Call the bookstore, visit their website, or stop by to see their current selection.
Make sure that any software you purchase will work with your computer and operating system. Shop around for the service and price that best matches your needs. Links and pricing may change. If you notice a change before I do, please let me know.
Your textbooks has errors. You need to correct them. Take a minute and open your book to the page listed below and write in the correction. If you don't, you may become frustrated when you are doing a Chapter. Also here is a link to the errata page. It is always updating!
Page 136: The suggested addition at the end of Step 6 should be:
if ( !isset($_POST['terms'])
OR ($_POST['terms'] != 'Yes') )
{
The wrong clause also erroneously ends up in Scripts 6.6, 6.7, and 6.8 (I say "erroneously" because while it's a suggested addition, you're not formally asked to add that code to the scripts).
Page 144: The sidebar erroneously says that break can be used to exit an if-else conditional. break only applies to loops and switch.
Page 190: The referenced file in Step 1 should be template.html, not layout.html.
Page 216: In the third tip, "selected" erroneously has a hyphen in it.
Page 217: In the second piece of code, there's an extra apostrophe before "email@example.com".
Page 254: Not exactly sure what happened in Script 9.8, but the code in the explanation and steps is correct: session_start(), $_SESSION = array(), and session_destroy(). As an added precaution, you can also send a cookie that deletes the session cookie.
Pages 256: In the third "Pursue" prompt, it should say "using the $_POST values" instead of "using the $_GET values" as the form uses the POST method.
Page 394: Step 5 should begin with the inclusion of the database connection script.
Page 395: Line 65 of Script 13.7, add_quote.php, should include the footer file, not the header file. The corresponding instruction under Step 12 on page 396 is correct.
Page 409: Step 10 has one closing parentheses too many.
Page 412: Line 53 of Script 13.11, index.php, should end with a closing paragraph tag. This also applies to the corresponding instruction under Step 13 on page 413.
Students who do not have access to the equipment, software, and services necessary to take this course at home may use the resources at Mesa College. Computers are available for use in the LRC or classroom K404. Local public libraries may also have these resources available. Map of the Mesa College campus
You are expected to know how to use the Blackboard system.
Blackboard technical support is available to students 24/7. If you are having a technical problem with Blackboard, please reach out for help. Call the Help Desk via this toll-free phone 866-271-8794.
You can also visit them online at https://www.sdccdonline.net/help for assistance with any technical issue that you experience with Blackboard and to view the FAQ's.
You will also need to have an ISP (Internet Service Provider) in order to fulfill the hybrid portion of this course online.
NOTE: Students have had problems accessing their course web site and their system locking up when they use AOL—if possible, avoid AOL.
If a grade of “I” is assigned, it must be cleared within one year or less. If the “I” is not cleared within the allowed time, it will change to the grade that would have been assigned at the normal end-date of the class—based only upon the work that had actually been submitted by the end date of the course.
A grade of “I” should be viewed primarily as a humanitarian procedure that provides an opportunity for a good student to complete all the course requirements and to achieve the same grade that would have been assigned had a tragedy not occurred.
A grade of “I” is not appropriate if used merely to provide additional time for a student to make up usual coursework that is overdue, incomplete, or unsatisfactory.
A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79% D= 60-69% F = 0-59% I reserve the right to change the syllabus as the course progresses. |
