Important Dates:

• Project Checkpoint: April 10 by 1pm. We will check out your project and try to let you know how you are doing. We expect 50% of the requirements of the project to be met at this time. The material that is presented should be clear, complete, and concise. Do not have broken links, misspelled words, or other small errors.
• Due Date: April 27 by 5pm. We will evaluate your project on this day and as such it should be completed by this time. No late projects are accepted. Once the project due date passes do not corrupt or alter your files until you have received a grade. (Note, this day is a Sunday.)

Project Theme:

• You can do a personal page, a hobby, your major, or a topic related to our text. Decide on one of these themes and then begin working on it as soon as you can. Some other possibilities are to design a Web page for:
  • a nonprofit organization
  • your favorite charity
  • a historical society
  • a campus club
  You must seek approval for your project topic by April 1. Bring your proposal to class on that day.

Amount of Writing:

• You are to have at least 2,500 words that you wrote appearing in the project. Honors students are to have at least 5,000 words. These are the words that appear on the screen (do not include HTML tags, words in a document you link to, etc.). This amounts to about 5 typewritten pages.

Style of Writing:

• Use an appropriate writing style for the Web as describe in In-line/On-line. Include consistent headers and footers for pages associated with the project.

HTML Features:

• You should incorporate as many HTML features as you can. Make sure you use at least 25 different HTML tags.

Other Required Items:

• Include a paragraph or two in the beginning of your document describing what the project is about. This should be several sentences long. Express what your theme was and what you were trying to do.
• Include at least 5 "outside" hyperlinks, i.e. off campus.
• Include at least 5 different .html files that are yours and you link to.
• Include at least 5 images.
• Include a page with intra-document linking.
• Include at least one page that has a nondefault background.
• Include a mailto link so that readers may send you email directly.
• Include tables, frames, and forms.
• If at all possible, include Cascading Style Sheets.

Honors Students:

Default location:

• The default is that we will assume your personal page is your project. If not please add a link from your personal page that says "In-line/On-line Project".

Evaluation:

• Content, quality of writing, how well the theme ties together, presentation, overall feel, creativity, and how well directions are followed. These items are rated according to the project evaluation sheet.

Comments:

• If you are not clear about any aspect of the project, consult with the professor.
