Requirements and Grading (10 points possible)

• 1 point - The web page is named index.html.
• 1 point - The web page identifies your name, your year in school, your major and your minor (if you have one).
• 2 points - The web page contains a table with your weekly schedule on it. The days of the week (Monday - Friday) should be used to label the columns and the hours of the work day (8 a.m. - 4 p.m.) should be used to label the rows. Fill in the table with your weekly classes and activities. Leave unscheduled times blank. For example, CS 160 should occur on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. and the CS 160 lab should occur for the appropriate two hours on Tuesday.
• 2 points - The web page contains a current picture of you. If you don't own a digital camera, find someone who does and have them take a picture of you. The picture will be helpful so that your lab TA can associate a face with your name.
• 2 points - The web page lists at least three of your interests in one of html's list environments.
• 1 point - At least one of the items in the interest list above contains a link to a relevant website.
• 1 point - the overall webpage looks OK and makes sense.

Helpful Hints

• Here is an HTML Tutorial should you decide to handcode your page. Notice that there are sections on many of the required elements such as tables, lists, links and images.
• Another good way to learn to handcode HTML is to find a page that contains something that you want to imitate. Then, under the browser's View menu, select the Page Source option. For example, our lab page contains a table - view the page source to learn what html code is necessary to produce it.

Submission

Bring your webpage (and other necessary files such as your picture) on a memory stick at the beginning of the lab period on Tuesday, September 16th. During the in-lab, you will be shown how to make this webpage available on the World Wide Web.
