Assignment #6               C S C 1 0 1                                       45 Points

Mohammadi                                                                           Due Date: 1/19/01

 

Create a presentation using MS-PowerPoint.

 

Choose a chapter of your textbook for the course (Computer Confluence).  Based on the material in that chapter and, if you wish, supplemental material on that chapter at the book's web site www.computerconfluence.com prepare a 5 to 10 slide presentation. 

 

Things to consider…

Ř      The content coverage for the chapter although not necessarily comprehensive should not be limited to just a few pages in the chapter. 

 

Ř      There should be a message, a theme, and an overall purpose to the presentation.  A presentation with scattered ideas and just a bunch of disjointed slides is not acceptable here.

 

Ř      Use of graphics from the book, off of the website for the book, or anywhere else for that matter to better communicate the ideas from the chapter and enhance the presentation will be important.

 

Ř      Use of presentation features in PowerPoint controlling the delivery of the information as well as use of animation features will be important.

 

Ř      Turn in a floppy disk with your presentation on it.  Be sure to write your name on the disk.

Save your presentation as HTML and make it available off of your webpage for the course. 

 

1.                  Choose Save as HTML from the File pull-down menu.  Go through the steps that the wizard takes you through to save the presentation in HTML.  This should result in a folder named the same as the presentation file, make sure this folder is saved on your floppy.

2.                  Use WS-FTP to transfer the folder to your Rocky account.  Be sure you are in your public-html directory in your Rocky account before commencing the file transfer.  Transfer should take place in Binary and it is perfectly legal in WS-FTP to transfer a whole folder rather than each piece at a time.

3.                  Login to Rocky, use the chmod command to set the protection on both the presentation folder and its content as shown in class.

4.                  Create a link to the presentation in your 101.html page.

5.                  Write a note on your disk that indicates the presentation is published on the web.
