Tables:

To use a table arrangement in a Web page you use a format such as

<table>
<tr>
<td>this is the first cell in the first row</td>
<td>second cell in the first row</td>
<td> Third cell in that same row</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>this is the first cell in the second row</td>
<td>second cell in the second row</td>
<td> Third cell in that same row</td>
</tr>

You can also do this with Mozilla Composer. Rearrange the following into a table of the form

my favorite really red sepia horse

in the woods looking up looking down

Your Web project

• One of the requirements of the course is that you develop a Web project. Minimally the project will result in a Web site - at least three linked pages. The purpose of the project is to give you an opportunity to develop and exhibit your skills at writing for the Web and preparing information for use on the Web.
• The project will be assessed by me in the following areas:
  • Content - depth & quality
  • Technical correctness
  • Design - style
  • Design - function
  • Navigation
  • Usability
• The project will be on a topic drawn from one of the major areas of the course:
  • technology - how the Internet and the Web operates; for example, a guide to using an aspect of the Internet or the Web
  • information - a guide to information on the Web or ways to discover information; examples include a subject guide to a topic, a biography, and a thorough explanation of a topic
  • issues - legal or ethical issues related to the Internet or the Web; examples include a discussion and presentation of issues related to copyright, privacy, sharing information, civil liberties, ethical business practices, and filtering information.

Why

"Ethics, copyright laws, and courtesy to readers require authors to identify the sources of direct quotations and of any facts or opinions not generally known or easily checked."-- Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (Chicago: Chicago Univ. Press), p. 594

Whenever you quote or base your ideas on another person's work, you must document the source you used. Even when you do not quote directly from another work, if reading that source contributed to the ideas presented in your paper, you must give the authors proper credit.

Citations allow readers to locate and further explore the sources you consulted, show the depth and scope of your research, and give credit to authors for their ideas. Citations provide evidence for your arguments and add credibility to your work by demonstrating that you have sought out and considered a variety of resources. In written academic work, citing sources is standard practice and shows that you are responding to this person, agreeing with that person, and adding something of your own. Think of documenting your sources as providing a trail for your reader to follow to see the research you performed and discover what led you to your original contribution. -- Barker, Joe ( 2004, May 7). Style Sheets for Citing Resources (Pring & Electronic), http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Style.html
