Students are expected to produce quality products. If a student meets the stated requirements for an assignment, but does it in a minimal fashion, the maximum grade for the product will be a "C". To earn a "B" or an "A" there must be reasonable quality in the work.

Make a personal link page. Put it in your special personal password protected folder on the Instructor's server Ellerbruch.nmu.edu as shown in class.
The link page will be your connection between the class roster and your assignments. You will put your assignments in your folder and provide links on your link page. The link page must NOT BE a fancy and complex page. It should take minimal time to load. It will have NO graphics. The link page must have four parts.
Part 1. Includes a title for the page and a header on the page.
Part 2. Has links to assignments as they are completed with descriptions of the assignments.
Part 3. Has links to any favorite or useful pages.
Part 4. Has links to return to significant pages (as a minimum you need to be able to return to the CS101 home page.) and identification information. Be sure to have your name and e-mail address at the bottom as creator of the page.
This must NOT be an elaborate personal home page.
The path to your folder will be:
http://Ellerbruch.nmu.edu/classes/CS101W05/CS101students/YourLastName/
The full pathname format for your link page would be:
http://Ellerbruch.nmu.edu/classes/CS101w05/CS101students/YourLastName/Index.html
The name of the Link page must be Index.html

The following is an example of user named "John Smith" subscribing to the CS101 list on the mailbot.
In the "TO" field of a mail message put:
mailbot@Ellerbruch.nmu.edu
You can leave the subject line blank for subscribing to this group.
In the first line of the body of the message put:
subscribe CS101 Your Name Note - John Smith would write:
subscribe CS101 John Smith
After you are a member of the group you can send a message to all in the group easily. You must send the message from the same address you subscribed from.
To send a message to everyone in the mail group you would use the address:
CS101@Ellerbruch.nmu.edu
Don't forget a reasonable subject when sending a message to the group.
Start a personal home page (it can be "fancy"). Do Not use large graphics. Limit graphics so the total size of the folder is less than 200K. The home page should be in a folder named P1. Install P1 in your personal folder on the Ellerbruch server and link the home page to your link page.
In addition to the standard title, header, date, return links, and author, you must have several paragraphs of text and at least two images or graphics. You also must have at leas two hyperlinks. Modify index.html to generate the page. Do not use html you don't understand. Do not use programs which generate html for you. Follow the form and format demonstrated in class.
Create a set of annotated resource links for some topic. Have at least ten links with annotations organized in a table. The links must have descriptions/annotations. Choose any topic, but don't make it too broad. A good choice would be an academic area of interest.
The ten sources must be from different places. That is, the beginning part of the URL must be different, i.e. different domain names. The links must work at the time the assignment is marked in order to be counted. The annotations must be in good writing form with correct grammar, correct spelling and correct punctuation.
Put the links and descriptions on a web page with appropriate title, headers, intro etc. The page and any related material should be in a folder named P2 and linked to your link page with appropriate "description". You must use "good" html which will work with any browser. You are NOT to use a program which generates html code.
Create a folder, P3, which will contain a web page which will have links to at least five sources of java applet games. The web page will also describe a specific java applet game, puzzle or simulation installed in the P3 folder and link to it. Make sure to include any instructions necessary to play the game. This web page should be linked through your link page.
There must be a link from this page to a web page in the P3 folder to run an applet. The java applet web page does not have to have anything fancy on it, just the instructions to run the applet from the files in your folder. The necessary files for the applet must be in the P3 folder.
You may have more than the minimum in your P3 folder if the additional material is appropriate to the game/simulation project.
You may acquire a java applet game or simulation from any site on the world wide web which gives you access to the code for the game. Give credit to the source web site and the author of the game.
The entire P3 folder is to be installed in your Sites folder on the instructor's server, be properly linked and run correctly. It may be appropriate to check the operation from someone else's computer.
The web pages should have the normal, title, header, author, date and return links.
Create a pdf document. This document should look attractive and be well designed with nice formatting as well as have accurate content. The document must have a title and author. It must provide some information and include at least two images/graphics. The minimum length is one complete page. The document MUST be in pdf format. It is to be available through a link on a web page which identifies the document and describes the document and its content. This web page must be linked through your link page. All parts, web page(s) and document(s) must be in a folder named P4 and saved in your folder on the instructor's server.
The web page(s) should have the normal, title, header, author, date and return links.
Create a Power Point slide show. This presentation should look attractive and be well designed with nice formatting as well as have accurate content. The Slide Show must have a title page, which includes a title and the author's name. It must provide some information and include at least two pictures/images/graphics. There must be one link to a local document (stored in your P5 folder.) There must be at least three links to web sites, these links can be in the text or on a resource page at the end of the slide show. The minimum length of the slide show is three complete pages/slides. The Power Point slide show is to be available through a link on a web page which identifies the slide show and describes its content. This web page must be linked through your link page. All parts; web page(s), slide show, and document(s) must be in a folder named P5 and saved in your folder on the instructor's server.
The web page(s) should have the normal, title, header, author, date and return links.
Create a folder, P6, which will contain a web page which will have a javascript solution to finding the GPA for six classes. The data for the classes and the computation results will be shown in fields created in a form. The computation will occur when a button is pressed to start the computation. This web page is to be linked through your link page.
The P6 folder is to be installed in your Sites folder on the instructor's server, be properly linked and run correctly. It may be appropriate to check the operation from someone else's computer.
The web pages should have the normal, title, header, author, date and return links.
Create a folder, P7, which will contain at least one web page which contain the source code for your final project. The P7 folder will also contain any other appropriate parts of the project.
The topic/material for the page(s) is your choice. You must use the techniques taught this semester. The source must implement the major HTML techniques including forms with textfields and buttons. Javascript must be used and include getting information from textfields, conditionals (if statements), loops, output/display of results of using a function, and if possible arrays.
Appropriate topics include any personal, professional or academic page you would like to create. An alternative approach is to build an interactive game.
The project will be evaluated based on quality, content, quantity and inclusion of the material from the course this semester. A trivial submission which has the all necessary parts incorporated in a minimal fashion will be worth a "D" at most.
The P7 folder is to be installed in your Sites folder on the instructor's server. The main web page is to be properly linked through your link page and run correctly. It may be appropriate to check the operation from someone else's computer.
The web pages should have the normal, title, header, author, date and return links.
