LBSC 690 - Information Technology
HTML Assignment

 

Create a personal World Wide Web page.  This page MUST be hosted on WAM (so that we can find it), and it MUST appear at the URL: http://www.wam.umd.edu/~USERID/690.html

where USERID is your WAM userid.  When your page is ready, send the TA an email giving your WAM userid and the fact that your page is ready. After sending the email, make no further modifications to your 690.html file for the remainder of the semester.  Files with a modification time later than the time of your email will not be graded.

Your page must contain at least the following:

  1. Your name, and your contact details
  2. A few paragraphs of text describing aspects of your academic background, your goals of taking LBSC690 class, and your potential interests in CLIS's research topics.
  3. An image.
  4. A list of the classes you have taken at CLIS using a list (<ul>)
  5. a few links to ttclass.umd.edu, and to our class page www.umiacs.umd.edu/~daqingd/Courses/lbsc690/fall03/lbsc690fall03-0301.htm. 
  6. The date and time of your last update to the page.
In addition to these requirements, your page will be graded for style, compliance with the HTML standards, and spelling.  You will find that 

are handy references that explain what each tag does, but you will need to have a good idea of what you want to do before consulting that reference in order to avoid getting lost in the detail.

This is a good opportunity to create your own web page if you don't have one already.  You may include as much additional material as you like, but only the requirements listed here will be graded.  If you want to make changes for your own purposes after sending your email announcing that your page is ready you should make a copy called index.html and make changes to that copy and not the 690.html file.

Adopted from Dr Allen and Dr Oard's homework assignments.
