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/

Page # | Description |
---|---|
107 | The second line of code under Step 3, and line 30 of Script 3.10 on page 106, should use multiplication, not division: $dollars = $gallons * $ppg;. |
193 | Step 6 should suggest that you repeat Steps 3-5. |
205 | The first sentence of the third paragraph should say “This join is selecting two columns…”. |
210 | The query in Step 3 is missing the % before the “Y” (as in the figure). This error is also repeated in the final tip on page 211. |
277 | The code in Step 8, which assigns the query to the $q variable is missing its terminating double quotation mark. The corresponding code in Script 9.3 is correct. |
320 | In the first paragraph, it should say “the first ten records—0 through 9—should be retrieved”. |
334 | The code in Step 6 should end with a closing PHP tag. |
354 | The code in Step 8 is missing the closing </li>. |
360 | The code in Step 9 is missing the readfile() line included in the corresponding script. |
389 | On line 19 of Script 12.8, the opening [ is missing after $data. The corresponding code in Step 2 is correct. |
403 | The second sentence at the top of the right-hand column should identify Chapter 14 as "Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions". |
405 | The parenthetical near the end of the first paragraph should say "i.e., $v was found in $value". |
405 | On line 58 of Script 13.1, the $scrubbed array should be reset instead of $_POST, as this new array is what the form will use. |
450 | The first line of the second paragraph should begin "Of these modifiers," |
514 | On lines 79-80 of Script 16.5, the form elements should be named just "start" and "end". The code in the corresponding step is correct. |
563 | At the end of Script 18.2, the phrase "paste code here" should not be there. Ugh. |
586 | The code in Step 2 should refer to $_GET['x'] not $trimmed['email'] (that’s what I get for copying and pasting). The code in the corresponding script is correct. |
598 | Figure E is incorrect. |
621 | On line 138 of Script 19.2, the two references to $_POST['existing'] should be to $_POST['artist']. This also applies to the code in Step 15 on page 627. |
635 | On line 35 of Script 19.6, the closing </a> is missing. This also applies to the code in Step 5 on page 636. |
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.

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.

Your
grade will be based on your assignments, quizzes, and
discussion postings. The final grade in this class will be affected by
active participation in the discussion postings.
I reserve the right to change the syllabus as the course progresses.
