Guidelines for IT 238 Project Submissions

1. Late Penalties are 10 points per day. Projects will not be accepted more than 10 days late.  Although the late penalty can be reduced under special circumstances, it cannot be totally eliminated.
2. Submit projects on D2L. All projects must be uploaded to the studentweb.cdm.depaul.edu server.  Projects 0 through 5 must also be submitted as a zipfile on D2L; no projects will be accepted via email. When you submit your zipfile, include a comment on D2L with the URL of your uploaded project on the server
3. Keep backup copies of all assignments.   The late penalty will not be waived if you lose an assignment or your computer crashes.
4. Projects cannot be resubmitted.
5. Submitted files must have standardized names.   Name the zipfile of your project proj0Smith.zip (replace Smith by your last name and 0 by the actual project number).
6. In addition to submitting your zipfile, also submit the URL to your project on the server as a comment for the submission on D2L.
7. Separate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code each into its own file. You can name these files index.htm, styles.css, and script.js. Even this statement violates the separation of files:
   

   <button id="btn1" onclick="convert( );">
       Convert
   </button>
   

   Use this JavaScript code in your script instead.
   

   function init( ) {
       var button = document.getElementById("btn1");
       button.addEventListener("click", convert);
   }
   window.addEventListener("load", init);
   

8. Submitted files contain a header.   Submitted files must contain a header with comments containing your name, the name of the project, the due date, and the submission date at the top. For example:
   

   <!-- Stan Smith  HTML comment
        Project 1a
        Due Date: Apr 13
        Submission Date: Apr 11 -->
   
   /* Stan Smith  CSS comment
      Project 1a
      Due Date: Apr 13
      Submission Date: Apr 11
   
   // Stan Smith  JavaScript comment
   // Project 1a
   // Due Date: Apr 13
   // Submission Date: Apr 11
   

9. The HTML page for each project, except for Project 1a, should have a link back to the index page that you created for Project 0.
10. There is a maximum penalty of 10% for submissions that do follow the preceding specifications.
11. Include source code comments in your submission. Comments count 10% of the project score.
12. Check your submission.   Double check that you have submitted the correct document for your project. Submitting the wrong document is not a reason to waive the late penalty.
