Grading Rubric
Item#  Points  -  description
  1. 10 points - Canvas Discussions for Week 6.
  2.   5 points - all WebPages include the minimum HTML illustrated in our HTML Template . This HTML is not identical to what is described in our textbook. We use character set utf-8, not "ISO-8859-1". We link to our own version of mddernizr.js.
  3.   5 points - Web pages have visual appeal, are themed, and are easy to navigate (as judged by George), ONLY one of us will receive full 5 points for this item. What does that mumbo-jumbo mean. The visible design of a WebSie is highly personal. What is attractive to you may not be attractive to me. Our class, "WebPage Design and Development" concerns all the Design you can't see ... the HTML and CSS. So, in the big scheme, it doesn't matter if I think your pages look good, visually. Except for this one Rubric Item, my opinion matters. So, you tell me your design ideas when you write your WebSite Elements, and I will take that into consideration when forming my own opinion. In other words, you tell me why your WebSite looks good, and you will earn most of these 5 points.
  4.   5 points - Discussion of WebSite Elements
  5.   5 points - start a new folder on CPST WebServer to keep your WebSite organized. Follow Guidelines for Naming files and folders.

  7.   5 points - a new WebPage for your Gresham WebSite with links to external WebSites related to Performing Arts (like Choir, Opera, Plays, ect.), 1/2 point each link, maximum 5 points

Canvas Discussions

There are several new Canvas discussions setup in the Discussion section of Canvas. Each discussion should be self-explanatory. The name of each discussion begins with "Week 6", indicating that it is to be used during Week 6 of class. See our SiteIndex WebPage for a complete list of Weeks and Dates for all Assignments.

You may add as many threads to these discussions as you like. Each time you substantially participate in one of these discussions you earn 3 points.
