While "web surfing," you may find areas that you feel are offensive.
Most of these sites give warnings and, too, their names may be dead
giveaways. If you believe that you will be offended, do not address
these sites. Along the same vein, I expect everything submitted to
me to be in good taste.

Ensure that proper grammar and spelling are incorporated by using the
appropriate checkers. You will be graded on form, appearance, and
content as well as creativeness. Utilization of "extra" formatting
features along with demonstrated ingenuity and creativeness in the
content of the paper will be scored favorably. Quality, not quantity,
is the key.
If you do not have the URLs for the various pages you may want to visit
on the Internet, you can do searches by utilizing one of the four
search engines listed below:
(a)
Access the InfoSeek Internet Search provided by Netscape.
Click the NetSearch button near the top of the Netscape
screen.
(b)
Access the Yahoo Archive at http://www.yahoo.com
(c)
Access the WebCrawler at http://webcrawler.com/
(d)
Access Lycos at http://www.lycos.com/

Obtain four web page printouts from either SPORTS or the ARTS.
There should be one printout each from (1) the First Coast,
(2) Florida, (3) National, and International. The subject matter
must be the same for all four printouts (ie, if you select opera,
for example, then each printout must have something to do with
opera).
IMPORTANT!! The printouts cannot be menus or general home pages.
You must follow a trail of links until you find an article. Do not
print the whole article; print just one page.
SUGGESTION: After you find an article and print a page of it,
add each URL visited in the HISTORY WINDOW to the BOOKMARK. Select
URL's in the BOOKMARK (use the shift key) and, then, copy and paste
to your cover sheet document in WordPerfect.
Provide a cover sheet(s) (ie, short report consisting of 1 or 2
pages) which gives a path of URL's visited for each one of the
four web pages that you printed. Also, comment on or critique the
four web pages.
Be sure to staple the five items and write 2 in the upper right hand
corner of the first page of the cover sheet(s).

Part IV.
Your Personal Web Page
No file will be saved on your disk.
Design a Web page. Instructions will be given in class on how
to do this. You will have quite a bit of latitude as to what
you include in the page. However, basic requirements are as
follows:
(1)
(2)
Title for the browser title bar
Header identifying your page
(3)
(4)
A graphic
A link to a fellow student's web page
A printout of the Web page is required for submittal. Write 3 in
the upper right hand corner of the document. In addition, I must
be able to look at your Web page, using Netscape.

Be sure that your disk is up-to-date and includes all subdirectories
and files from previous assignments. Double check:
- Volume label,
- No files in the root directory,
- No extraneous files exist anywhere.
