STS:  Computers and Society:  Summer 2001.    Assignment Two.

Type Your Name Here:

This assignment must be completed and submitted in html format to the WEBCT drop box by the date and time due.  WEBCT will not accept late assignments.

Hint:  Before beginning this assignment, it would be a good idea to.....  Read The Instructions.

1.    Prepare a Home Page and Post it On Clam.  Your home page is the introduction to your WEB site, and may include anything you wish to put on it to introduce yourself.  It is an html file with the file name index.html.  It is important that it be called index.html with a four letter file extension, not index.htm, with a three letter extension, because Unix systems recognize the former by default.    To get ideas for your Home Page, you might want to check out our page of Sample Home Pages.  You can find others by searching Google for them.  You may get as creative as you like with your home page, but you don't have to.  All you have to include is your name, your email address, and a working hyperlink to your STS Home Page (item 2).  If you already have a home page somewhere else, you can link to it.  But you should have an index.html file on your clam account.  Instructions on how to prepare and post your home page are available here.

Type the URL of your Home Page here and make it a working hyperlink:

2.   Prepare an STS Page and post it on your WEB Site at  Clam.  Your STS Page is an html file with the file name sts.htm.  It is important that all our sts pages have the same file name, sts.htm, because this makes it easier for us to link to other people's pages.  Your STS Page must have the following information:

1. Your name and email address.
2. A 250 word paragraph giving your reactions to the Global Brain movie (this may be copied from assignment one).
3. Working hyperlinks to the STS Pages of each of the members of your Support Group.   You must get the URL's from the other members of your Support Group.  Their addresses will be similar to yours.  They will look like this:  http://clam.rutgers.edu/~accountname/sts.htm.  If you don't have somebody's account name, you can usually find it by going to the Rutgers People Finder.  Their account name will be same as their email address before the @.  For example, my email address is goertzel@camden.rutgers.edu so my account name is goertzel and my sts page is at http://crab.rutgers.edu/~goertzel/sts.htm.  Student accounts are on clam, while faculty accounts are on crab.
4. A copy of the Official STS Photograph of your group.  To copy a picture, open the Official Photograph Page, find the photo, put the cursor over it, and right-click on your mouse.  (These photos will be taken the first night of class;  if you look before then you'll see last semester's photos).  Save the photograph somewhere on your pc or a disk.  Then click on the "image" icon on Netscape Composer (or the equivalent on other software) and click on "choose file" and insert.  The picture may come out too big.  If so, right-click on it, click on "Image Properties" and change the number of pixels in the Height box.  (It is better to wait until you see it to do this, because that way it retains the correct ratio between height and weight).
5. Type the URL of your STS Page here and make it a working hyperlink:

4.  Visit the Whole Brain Atlas. Go to the "Top 100 Brain Structures" and find the diagram with the pineal gland.  Copy the diagram and paste it here.

5.  When you are ready to submit your assignment, upload three files to the WEBCT Dropbox:
(1) this ststwo.htm file
(2) your index.html file and
(3) your sts.htm file.
Upload all three files to WEBCT before submitting the assignment.  This is in addition to publishing the index.html and sts.htm files (but not the ststwo.htm file) on your home page.  This way we have something to check if there is a problem with your WEB site, and we have a record of what was completed at the time of submission (the WEB site can always be changed).
