Hi Everyone..
So tonight is our last night. I hope that everyone has had an opportunity to submit the project 3. I will be reviewing them this weekend. Look for the remaining grades to be submitted by next Wed June 16.
So in the spirit of one last hurrah.. Please login to your peer pages and answer the question you submitted to me at the start of the class. The question was :
"What was the one thing you wanted to take away from this class?"
Thanks all and see you tonight. |

Disregard the requirement for submitting 2 types of CSS ; print and screen. We only covered the screen. Therefore, only concern yourself with submitting CSS for the computer screen.
Also, for those of you who are having issues with your webspace provider (Depaul) and cant validate using a URL. Here is the link to validate with a file or cut&pasted text. |

There have been some questions about grading of Project 2. Click here to review the rubric for the project. Let me know if there are any questions. |

Try Mediatemple if you are in the market for webspace. In their case you would want the Grid Services account for about $20/mo.
If you want to just purchase a domain name, separate from space try network solutions. It will cost about $30 per year.
From there you will point your URL to your space. The providers will have documentation on how to do this. |

The DePaul library has a number of resources for materials related to CSS. The 24x7 books area has a host of resources you can review in its entirety online. Take a peek at: - HTML and CSS Web Standards Solutions: A Web Standardistas' Approach
- HTML, XHTML & CSS for Dummies, 6th Edition
Both have a good review of CSS and HTML in combo. |

If you are looking for things on the wiki, try using the search. It can be found in the upper right hand corner of each page. Alternatively, the site-map or the 'recent site activity' might also be of help in determining just where to put pages or for that matter find missing pages.
Lastly, if comments or attachments functionality is missing from a page you can change that. Look in the upper right corner for a 'more actions' link. (You must not be in edit mode to see this link). Under the link there is 'page settings'. Using 'page settings', you can turn on the comments, attachments, or subpage links. |

NMS students—
I am forwarding below information on two opportunities for WRD and NMS graduate students—a session on the development of academic conference proposals on April 28 from 6:30-8:00 in McGaw 314, and the WRD Graduate Student Conference (for MA in WRD and MA in NMS students); the deadline for proposals in 5/1/10 and the conference is on May 15th. Contact information is available below. Whether you are interested in attending an academic conference yourself or not, this is a great opportunity to meet and mix with students in your own program and in the MA in WRD, and to meet and talk with faculty who teach in both programs.
Peter Vandenberg, Professor and Chair
Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse
Please note, the "development of academic conference proposals" session occurs during class hours. I have indicated that we would be interested in attending. It clearly would take up the entire class time. If you prefer, we can hold class using a video conference (at another time) or simply via distributed materials. Lets discuss this on Wed including the possible changes to our submission schedule in lieu of this session.

There seem to be some confusion about due dates. I hope this statement adds clarity.
All assignments are due Monday.
This is so that everyone can comment and critique. If you feel, that some comments were helpful feel free to modify your assignments through till Wed. Wednesday is when I will review and issue grades.
This way, you have the benefit of your classmates' posts. |

Project 1 should be posted to the wiki (on your group page) by Monday midnight.
Each member of the team should review and keep statistics on 20 websites. Before you pick these websites, you might want to standardize on "good websites". Perhaps this link will assist in that regard. Data from team members should then be collected and rudimentary stats (mean, std, range) compiled across all team members for a specific website. Add this information to your project and include a discussion about your results as well as sources of error.
Lastly, review other teams' project and results by Tuesday night. Add your critique to the comments section of their project page. You must comment on at least 2 other projects.
You will present your project in class on Wed. In the presentation, be sure to include an overview of your rubric, your data results, and a synthesis of any relevant comments. |

Please note there is really only 1 opportunity for each member to present during the course. If all the weeks are filled, there are no more opportunities. I noted that this week there are only 2 people planned to present. And last week, no one gave a presentation. This means that 4 opportunities have passed of the available choices. For those of you who have not signed up, I suggest you do so immediately. |
