There are no constraints here: your network identity is in your own hands. Once you create your home page, the UIC will automatically make it available to the world. You are free to look as brilliant (or stupid) as you choose. Needless to say, however, you must steer clear of obscenity, slander, copyright violation, and the like. (See the ACCC Computer Usage Policy statement for more information).
Your page must contain the following (you may do more than this):
Grading is straighforward. It will be out of a maximum of 100 points.
One or more misspelled words will also cost you five points. If your page is not accessible, you will receive zero (0) points for the assignment.
You are to make this page your home page on your Icarus account or available from a link on your Icarus account. If you don't want the assignments for CS 100 to be your UIC Home Page (i.e. in the file index.html), let us know. We can set up a different link on the Student Access Page.
You are also to submit your project electronically. This can be done by emailing your project to the CS 100 instructor account or by using the Unix turnin. Future assignments will require you to use turnin, so I suggest that everyone try to use turnin for this assignment also.
Send an email to the CS 100 Instructor account: i100@cs.uic.edu
This email should have all of the files used for the assignment including the html source code and the images used as attachments.
You are also to submit your page via the Unix turnin command. The project name for this assignment is hw1. To "Turnin" your program electronically using the "turnin" command from your ICARUS account as follows:
turnin -c troy -p hw1 [your files ]
where the [your files] is
all your files related to this homework problem. The turnin command will
automatically compress the data and send it to Prof. Troy.
If you want to verify that your project was turned in, use the -v option of the turnin command. For instance for this project, from your Icarus account you would type:
turnin -c troy -p hw1 -v
This will display what files were submitted for the current project.
Note that you can execute turnin as many times as you would like, up until the program deadline when turnin will be disabled for this project. Each time you execute turnin for a project, you overwrite all of what you had turned in previously for that project. It does not work in an incremental way.
