Tentative Grading
| Concept | % |
|---|---|
| Exams | 30% |
| Projects | 50% |
| Participation | 20% |
Requirements
Students are required to have strong foundations on algorithms, databases and software engineering. They are also required to have twitter and github accounts. Please use this form to enter your Twitter and Github handle
Every student is required to complete a series of readings and materials before class. This is not only required but also very important, since in class we will assume they were reviewed, discuss them and cover more advanced topics.
Assigned readings
Before every class, students must tweet something they learned from the readings with the hashtag #WebDev and the handle @Uniandes. The comments should be original, shouldn't repeat what was said before, and demonstrate the proficiency of the required reading.
These tweets are going to considered for the class participation grade. Each comment will be rated as follows:
- 2 points: An interesting and original comment
- 1 points: An interesting comment but that was mentioned before by another student
- 0 points: A non interesting comment
Slack Workspace web-dev-uniandes.slack.com
All the class' messages are going to be sent using our Slack workspace. Students are encouraged to use slack to ask questions, coordinate and collaborate. Some guidelines:
- Use #general for general issues, questions etc.
- Use #proyecto for proposing projects and requesting approval. All projects must be approved by the teacher.
- Only the teaching assistants and the professor should create threads on #anuncios. This channel is used for major announcements.
- Use #random for sharing random stuff.
Videos and Lectures
Sometimes the class will be recorded, streamed and published on Youtube, here is a playlist that contains some of the videos
