CompSci 94 Spring 2018: Assignment 2
Due: Thursday February 1, 2018 by 11:59pm
10 points
The purpose of this assignment is for you to create a course web page
where you will link to the work you do in this course. We also need to know
where your web page is located.
These parts must be done in order! (Part 1 first, then Part 2).
Part 1: Creating a Course Web page
You should create your course web page using Thimble.
Creating your Web page
For this course, you will create a web page that represents a portfolio of all of your projects. The course staff will use this page to track your progress
throughout the course, so it is very important that you keep it up-to-date.
Whether or not you already have a personal home page, you should create a separate page
for this course.
You will write
in hypertext
markup language, HTML and CSS.
Your course page must contain at least the following information:
- your name ( just first name is ok, note that your web page will be
public and on the web so if you don't want identifying information on it,
that is fine. )
- where you are from
- your computer science autobiography (see below)
- a link to the CompSci 94 web page
- an organized structure where you will list work you do in this
course,
such as a list or a table. Your web page must be organized in such a way
that it is easy for us to find work to grade it.
- a link to the html page you created for classwork 3 (the animal web
page with just HTML).
- a link to your html page for classwork 4, the animal web page in html
that you styled with CSS.
- an image (this could be a picture of you, or a picture of anything
else that is tasteful)
Some suggestions for additional information but not required include:
- your nickname
- your hobbies
- your year
- other courses you are taking
- any other interesting web pages you know about
Computer Science Autobiography
Your autobiography should attempt to answer the following questions:
- Where are you in terms of computer science/technology at this point in your life
(have you done any programming, know any tools (editors, spreadsheets)?
- What are you planning on doing with your life after Duke
and how do you see computers/technology in your future? (they are used in
someway in almost all careers, whether you write a program to do something or
you pay someone else to write a program for you)
Your email address on a web page (optional)
You can decide whether or not you want to put your email address on
your web page. There are web crawlers that look for email addresses on
web pages and then send spam to them. If you put your email address on a
web page, then you should disguise it in some way.
If your user id is
abc123 then you don't want to list it as abc123@duke.edu, but rather as
abc123 AT duke.edu.
You can also disguise it by putting it in a graphic image as Prof. Rodger does
on her web page.
Neither of these guarantee that current or future webcrawlers will find
them.
Part 2: Send us the link to your Course Web page
YOU MUST DO THIS PART AFTER YOU HAVE DONE PART 1.
Fill out the Reflect form in which you will include a link to the URL for your web page.
In doing so, you are telling us that your web page is ready
to grade.
