Web Info to help you with your web project

Getting the project to me (new) Do not follow the proceedure in the video for getting the project to me, follow the instructions at the bottom of the page for emailing the project!

Video of web sessions ... they have (I hope) been fixed... right now they are in mp4, ogv and webm formats so it is possible that not all browsers will work.

 

Part 1

 

Part 2

 

 

The project will be in the form of a web page on a topic in physics that you find interesting and we agree on together. These topics could include biographies of important scientists, scientific projects and scientific ideas. They will be graded both for presentation and content. More details will be discussed in class. Below are some of the requirements and ideas to help you with the project.


Requirements

Make sure you have multiple references that you have used (at least 5) and they are included in the bibliography.

At least one of your references must be for a source other then the web (ie a book or journal).

All figures taken from outside sources (the web or books or journals) must have a citation included with the picture!

Think about the readability of the pages.

Length should be 4-10 "web pages" (plus title page and bibliography)...though this is not a hard and fast rule.

Content and presentation will be graded.

Some of your classmates have knowledge on how set up/ format your pages, they might agree to help you if asked nicely :)

Note: You should have all the materials together before you ask them for assistance.
