Webpage assignment
Students in my seminar are required to provide course resources in the form
of webpages. In the 'early days' this assignment included a 'pre-assignment'
where students learned the technology of webauthoring by preparing a personal
hompage. In recent semesters I have found that that assignment was not necessary
as a majority of the students in the class already had personal webpages or
had prepared websites for other classes.
Below are the directions for the original assignment. Directions for the later pages can be found as links from that semester's seminar homepage. The personal webpages should include links to sites on other, course related, topics.
Explanation and Guidelines for the PERSONAL HOMEPAGE
This assignment has two main goals. Through it completion you should:
