Guidelines for Paper or Project

Most people in this course choose to do a project, typically a website. It should consist of at least 3 web pages, all linked to each other properly. It MUST be written entirely in native HTML, i.e. pages created using a web page editor such as Front Page are not allowed. The site should be in an area of interest to the student and should demonstrate the various techniques covered in the course. The website does NOT have to be live on the Internet; it may reside on a floppy disk or as a set of files that are emailed to the instructor, but the file set must be complete with all ancillary files and all links properly working. -------- If you do a paper, it should be a 5 to 10 page double-spaced research paper on a topic addressing aspects of programming the Internet. This should be on a fairly technical topic. Examples of subjects for papers: How to implement cookies Measurement of website effectiveness Implementing various security procedures How to control browsers, such as animated GIFs, access to Forward/Back lists, etc. Papers MUST be footnoted and annotated if secondary source material is used. Failure to identify source material will result in failure. Similarly, websites that use copyrighted material (especially, but not limited to, graphics) MUST give credit to the source of the copyrighted material. If your site is on the Internet and is going to exist beyond the term of this course, the student MUST comply with the terms of use of the owner of the copyrighted material. If there is any question as to what those terms are, contact the webmaster at the site from which the material is copied. Projects/Papers are due in class May 31th.
