ANNOUNCEMENTS --

1. EMAIL ALL ASSIGNMENTS TO YOUR SECTION’S GRADER (see above).  If you email them to me, there will be a 10% grade penalty (i.e., a lost letter grade) – plus you risk me not being able (for unforeseen reasons) to forward your work to the grader by the due date.

2. DO NOT USE any version of Microsoft Expression Web except version 3 or version 4. 

3.  DO NOT USE Microsoft FrontPage – it is (very) obsolete.

4. Generally, I am ready and willing to answer all of your questions.  BUT I do get tired of emailing answers you can find in the syllabus or at the 2610 web site, or at my sub-site.  So do not be surprised if I respond to any such questions with “syllabus,” or “web site.”

5. I will send out from time to time BROADCAST EMAILS to everyone in the class, using the UNT Bulkmail System.  This system delivers messages into the unt_course_messages folder in your Eagle Connect account. As with all official UNT mail, you are held responsible by UNT for knowing the contents of each message, even if you did not read it.  So when school’s in session, check your Eagle Connect account daily!

6. Here’s a tool for easily obtaining the hexadecimal codes used for colors in HTML: http://html-color-codes.info .

7. CAMPUS CLOSURES: Should UNT close campus, it is your responsibility to keep checking your official UNT e-mail account (EagleConnect) to learn if  your instructor plans to modify class activities, and how.

This course adheres to the UNT policy on academic integrity.  The policy can be found at http://vpaa.unt.edu/academic-integrity.htm
