Purchase a portable Hard drive

This is a class requirement: Buy your own portable hard drive and save your work in it.

Here are some recommendations and guidelines about portable hard drives.

 

How to submit your work for grading

In order to evaluate your work I need to be able to find it. Please make it easy by following these simple instructions:

  1. Create one simple html page that we'll call "Projects Page"

  2. The "Projects Page should contain a list of text links that take me to each completed project you have finished. Please include your full name, and the semester on top of the page. (Here is an example)

  3. Email me the URL to your "Projects Page" by the due date (the date is on your syllabus)

    Click here to email Thomás (sakoult at oneonta dot edu)

    Subject: CART306-81 yourlastname
    Body: your URL

  4. After you email me this URL in the beginning of the semester, there is no need to email me every time you finish a project. Simply add a link to this page an I can find it. I check this URL and your projects often throughtout the semester, and I grade your work after the due dates. If your work is not linked from our Projects Page by the due date, it will be considered a "late" project. Make sure the links on this page represent the projects are appropriately labeled.

Please TEST your pages to make sure that they are working properly on a browser on the due dates

 

For the Final Critique

>>>>In addition to including all your finished work on the "Projects Page", burn your www directory on a CD, label it with Year, Semester, Class, your name, assignment numbers contained, and submit it at the end of the final critique.

Course Requirements/Projects:

  1. Purchase your own domain name and server space from a commercial provider
    Set up your own domain and purchase a hosting plan where you can store all your projects for the semester. Do not use the school's server for the work in this class.
  2. Create at least 15 web design templates (that's about one template per week)
    These templates should be original. Each should adhere to sound web design principles, and should explore a different aesthetic and/or technical approach. Use all tools at your disposal as you see fit (flash, scripts, css, html, etc.).
  3. Create at least two complete web site of your own choosing.
    It is highly recommended that you involve yourself with commercial projects. If no commercial projects can be secured, personal web sites will be accepted. These web sites must be complete and thorough. Check with Thomás before you start to ensure that your projects are acceptable.
  4. At the end of the semester you should have an online portfolio that contains 15 web design templates (as. 2), and two complete web sites.
