Guidelines for IT 238 Project Submissions

  1. The official Late Penalty is 10 points per day. 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 zipfiles 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. 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).
  5. In addition to submitting your zipfile, also submit the URL to your project on the server as a comment for the submission on D2L.
  6. Each HTML page in your submission must contain a title that is displayed in a <title> element in the head section and in an <h1> element at the top of the page. The title briefly describes the app.
  7. Separate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript source 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 HTML and JavaScript source code:
    <button id="btn1" onclick="convert( );">
    Convert
</button>
    Instead of onclick="convert( );" in your HTML file, use the following JavaScript code in your JS script instead:
    function init( ) {
    var button = document.getElementById("btn1");
    button.addEventListener("click", convert);
}
window.addEventListener("load", init);
    30% penalty if HTML, CSS, and JS source code is not separated into separate files.
  8. Each source code file must contain a software header, which is a comment containing your name, the number of the project, the due date, and the submission date at the top. For example:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- Stan Smith     HTML software header
     Project 1a
     Due Date: Apr 13
     Submission Date: Apr 11 -->

/* Stan Smith    CSS software header
   Project 1a
   Due Date: Apr 13
   Submission Date: Apr 11

// Stan Smith    JavaScript software header
// 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 create for Project 0.
  10. Include source code comments in your submission. Comments count 10% of the project score.
  11. 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.
