Official Description: P: N241 or equivalent. Introduction to programming focusing on the client sided programming environment. Essential algorithm design, client-side programming using languages commonly embedded in web browsers. Lecture and laboratory. Introduction: This course concerns an introduction to web programming using JavaScript. In this class, you will learn sound programming constructs that can apply many languages used on the World Wide Web today. The essence of this course will not be learning the syntax of programming. Instead, the goal of this course is concerned with programming as problem solving. Of course, you will learn the particular syntax and semantics that are native to the languages covered; however, in doing so, you will begin to understand how modern programmers go about their work. Programming, at its essence, is the ability to solve complicated problems using a specific scientific methodology, as applied by computer languages. Understand these concepts and you can truly call yourself a computer programmer. Students should take N341 only after students have gained a working knowledge of the Unix operating system, the Emacs editor and proficiency in HTML, Advanced HTML and Cascading Style Sheets. Students without such a background would best be served by taking N241: An Introduction to Web Design prior to taking this class. |

| Academic Policies: | |||||||||
| Incomplete Policies: A grade of
I (incomplete) will be assigned only under exceptional circumstances,
such as illness, that prevent students from finishing all work required
in this course. A grade of I will be awarded only if a minimum of 75%
of the work has been completed and the work is of passing quality. Department
policy requires a contract be signed by both the instructor and the student
in the assignment of any I grade. This contract outlines course work required
and establishes a specific date (no more than one year) by which all unfinished
work must be completed. The instructor is not required to give the student
a full year to finish the work. The instructor has the right to set an
earlier deadline if deemed appropriate. Withdrawal Policy: Students may officially withdraw from classes without penalty during the first half of a semester or session if they secure the approval of their advisor; a grade of W (Withdrawal) is recorded on the final grade report. Students may withdraw from classes during the third quarter of a semester or session if they secure the approval of their advisor and the instructor of the course; a grade of W or F may be assigned by the instructor. The grade so assigned is recorded on the final grade report. Students may withdraw from classes during the last quarter of a semester or session if they secure the approval of their advisor, the instructor of the course, and the dean of their school; a grade of W or F may be assigned by the instructor. The grade so assigned is recorded on the final grade report. Students will be allowed to withdraw from class during the last quarter of the semester only under extenuating circumstances. A written justification from a doctor, member of the clergy, advisor, etc., must be presented. |
|||||||||
| Academic Misconduct: | |||||||||
| Each student is expected to adhere to high standards of ethical conduct, especially those related to cheating and plagiarism as outlined in the IU Code of Student Ethics (http://www.hoosiers.iupui.edu/studcode/stucode.htm#part3). The university may discipline a student for academic misconduct, which is defined as any activity which tends to undermine the academic integrity of the institution and undermine the educational process. Failure to comply with University policies will result in disciplinary actions ranging from warnings to expulsion. | |||||||||
| Certificate in Applied Computer Science: | |||||||||
| If you find that you enjoy the concepts and ideas introduced
in this course, you may find that pursuing a Certificate in Applied Computer
Science would be worth your time. The Certificate program "introduces
computer science principles, develops practical skills in market driven
software applications and prepares students to be successful with emerging
technologies. It is designed to supplement and enhance a primary degree
program." It is comprised of six hours of prerequisite courses (MATH M118
and N241), nine hours of required, core courses and nine hours of required
electives. If you are interested in finding more information about the
Certificate in ACS, please schedule an appointment to discuss your options.
