HCI 201 -- Hobby Website
Goal
Produce a website that describes a hobby or activity in which you
are interested. Explain some interesting details about your hobby
that the general public might not know. Examples: Coin collecting,
fantasy football, hiking, ballroom dancing.
Requirements
- Your final hobby website should contain about 6 to 12 pages.
- Your website must be uploaded to the students.depaul.edu server.
This server can only contain about 12 Meg per account, so advance planning
is necessary so that you do not run out of space.
- You must use an external style sheet (css) to obtain consistant
colors and fonts.
- Recommendation: use FrontPage to create your site.
- Each page on your site must contain at least one image unless
you have a good reason otherwise.
- Images should be roughly 25K in size. Resize or crop images that
are too large.
- Your hobby website cannot be a copy of an existing website,
even if you designed it or helped design it.
- Do not plagiarize text from existing websites. Use the same rules
for quoting sources that you would in a research paper.
See the link to DePaul's Academic Integrity Policy in the course
syllabus.
- You may take images from existing websites without crediting them
if they do not have copyright restrictions.
- The subject of your Hobby Website cannot be R or X-rated.
- After uploading the website, submit a Word Document with your name,
submission date, name of project (Hobby Website), and
a link to you hobby site. Do NOT submit pages from your website directly.
- Grading Breakdown: 30% for functionality, 30% for content,
20% for originality/creativity, 20% for interesting.
