Grade
Considerations

	All homework. Homework will go beyond simple examples. Examples will demonstrate a variety of uses of the concepts. Homework will also be easy to navigate and identify.
	Project complete. Project will demonstrate thoughtful design considerations including all of the topics discussed this term. Project will also demonstrate efforts to go beyond the basic concepts and will demonstrate an integration of the concepts to create a professional web site. High quality site layout, organization, and navigation.

	Homework complete and easy to navigate.
	Project complete and "clean"

	Homework at least 70% complete
	Project demonstrates at least 70% of an A level project. (I know this is a bit subjective. If you are unsure, please get with me for a critique.)

All of the above grades assume the student also completes the final exam with a passing grade.
