This assignment assumes that you have completed the previous website and email
assignments through which you established a website, index.html page, and an
email account.
Although the instructions are for the Microsoft Windows operating system, this
assignment can be done with any operating system and a text editor.
This assignment is comprised of 4 parts.
Part 1:
While using a text editor, such as Notepad, write about 2 of the presentations,
the one you liked the most and the one you liked the least, which were given on
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. (If you gave
a presentation on November 18, 2008, do not write about your own presentation.)
Make sure that your writing is well organized, coherent, grammatically correct,
and typographical and spelling errors are corrected.
Part 2:
Create a new web page in your own CFADW website and copy the text you wrote in
part 1 and paste it into the new web page.
Part 3:
Create a working link on your CFADW course website's index.html page, to the
web page you created in part 2.
Part 4:
Send an email notification to the CFADW course website (cfadw14880@yahoo.ca)
which will contain a hyperlink to your own course website's home page and your
email will also contain the content of your presentations_nov_18.txt file
included in the body of the email.
Part 1:
(1)
Put a formatted floppy disk into the floppy disk drive or use other portable
media such as a flash drive (uses USB port).
If you are using your own computer and don't need to have the file available
for use on portable media, you won't need the floppy disk or flash drive.
(2) To start up the Notepad text
editor in Windows:
Click on the the 'Start' menu
Click on: 'Run'
In the 'Open' textbox type: notepad
Click on: 'OK'.
The Notepad text editor window should appear.
(3) At the top left of the Notepad
window:
Click on: 'File'
Click on: 'Save As'
Give your file the following name: presentations_nov_18.txt
'Save' it to your floppy disk or the flash drive or your own computer's hard
drive.
(4) In the Notepad text editor, at
the top of the page:
On the first line, type your first name then your last name.
On the next line, type your student number.
Below this, on the next line, type the title: 'November 18, 2008 Presentation
Comments' (no quotes).
Insert two blank lines below the title (press Enter/Return three times).
Answer the questions in paragraph form, according to the list below.
Make sure that your writing is well organized into paragraphs, coherent,
grammatically correct, and typographical and spelling errors are corrected.
Although the instructions specify Notepad as the text editor, you may use a
different text editor such as WordPad, etc.
(If you don't use Notepad, you will have to make sure that the file is saved as
a '.txt' type of file.)
If you want to write more, that's OK.
Save your work often to prevent losing it due to a crash, etc.
The completeness and quality of your work will affect the evaluation you
receive.
Superficial and/or incomplete and/or incorrect answers will result in a
very/extremely low mark for this assignment. Put serious thought and effort
into your answers and comments. A sentence or two for each item is totally
inadequate.
Readability is also very important. Readability includes: correct spelling,
grammar, sentence structure, logical flow, formatting. If you need assistance
with writing, it is available from the College through student services. . (If you gave a presentation on November 18,
2008, do not write about your own presentation.)

</P>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As
indicated above, the first paragraph of your own content will be copied from
the presentations_nov_18.txt file you typed and pasted between the two html
formatting tags you typed.
The first html tag, <P> , is the 'opening' tag and it is interpreted by
the web browser to indicate that the text which follows it is a paragraph.
The second html tag, </P> , is the 'closing' tag and it is interpreted by
the web browser to indicate that the paragraph text is finished.

of text you typed in Notepad and copy it (Ctrl C).
(The first paragraph is the one of three consecutive lines which contain:
your last name, your student number, November 18, 2008 Presentation Comments.)

The web page you are working on should appear.

Notepad which will require that you recopy, paste, etc.
If it partially appears, you may have to scroll down to see it all or, if it really
is only partially there, you will have to 'cut' the text you pasted and recopy,
paste, etc.

another pair of paragraph tags <P> </P> for the next paragraph of
text you will add to your web page.
(18) Copy the next paragraph of text
from Notepad and paste it between the additional paragraph tags.

18, for each additional paragraph of text, until you have finished your whole
