Homework 

E-mail assignments with this e-mail icon to me no later than Sunday at noon unless otherwise announced. No assignments are accepted late. In all e-mail messages, the subject line should be Your Name, last 4 numbers of your student ID, project ID.

T3WS, 30 points: Case Problem 2. On p. 187, read the introductory paragraphs only and then follow the steps listed below rather than those in your book.

When you received your grade for T2WS, you should have saved that e-mail message. Open it now and use it as a checklist to be sure that you have made all corrections on the list. I will DEDUCT POINTS AGAIN for any errors you leave uncorrected from the previous tutorial. I will DEDUCT MORE POINTS if you do not paste in my e-mail message showing your previous your grade! When I am forced to look up your grade for you, my valuable time is wasted because you haven't done your job—please cooperate on this. You'll be glad you did.

When you are finished, your pages should have the information arranged and formatted exactly like these screen shots. I check for typos, formatting errors, and attention to detail; so examine your home page carefully.

index.htm jobs.htm

Step 1: Open the grill Web at http://ca112.lacitycollege.edu/ca112axx/grill.

Step 2: Open jobs.htm in Design view and review its contents.

Step 3: Format the second and third paragraphs in jobs.htm (with the text "Managers" and "Staff Associates") as a bulleted list. change the bullet character to the bullet.gif picture. Save the page and save the picture in the Images folder.

Step 4: Change the five paragraphs below the paragraph that begins "Garden Grill's managers are outstanding . . ." to a bulleted list with the bullet.gif picture. If bullet.gif is not in your images folder, go to the Tutorial.03, Grill, Images folder and import it.

Step 5: Change the six paragraphs below the paragraph that begins "Garden Grill is one of the most . . ." to a bulleted list with the bullet.gif picture.

Step 6: Create a bookmark for each heading in the page (the bold "Managers" and "Staff Associates" text) using a lowercase name of your choice that does not contain spaces or exceed eight characters. Then create a hyperlink from each item in the first bulleted list to its corresponding bookmark.

Step 7: Create a bookmark named top to the left of the picture link bar at the top of the page.

Step 8: Format the two paragraphs beginning with the bold "Managers" heading and ending with the paragraph that ends "the following qualifications:" as a definition list. The paragraph with the bold "Managers" heading is a defined term and the paragraph below it is the definition.

Step 9: Indent the bulleted list below the definition paragraph you created in Step 8 one additional tab stop. (Hint: Select the bulleted list and then use the Increase Indent toolbar button.)

Troubleshooting spacing on a list. I had trouble getting the numbered list in this step to single space. It looks single spaced in Page View in FrontPage, but when you preview it in the browser, it appears double spaced. To fix extra spacing in a list (with or without nests) courtesy of Seol-Ah Park, F06 class: First, type an unformatted list. Then select the unformatted list, Format, Bullets and Numbering, Specify picture, Browse, click the desired picture, Open; in the Picture Bullets tab, click Style; in the Modify Style window, click Format, Paragraph; in the Paragraph window, Spacing Before—type 0, Spacing After—type 0, OK, OK, OK. In design view select the items to be nested, click Increase Indent twice, then click the Numbering button--voila!!

Step 10: Format the two paragraphs beginning with the bold "Staff Associates" heading and ending with the paragraph that ends "at a Garden Grill location near you:" as a definition list. The paragraph with the bold "Staff Associates" heading is a defined term and the paragraphs below it is the definition. Indent the bulleted list below the definition paragraph by one additional tab stop.

Step 11: Create a new paragraph below the last bulleted list, and then decrease the paragraph's indentation to zero. (Hint: Click at the end of the "Bartenders" item in the list, press Enter twice to end the bulleted list and create a new paragraph, and then use the Decrease Indent toolbar button to change the new paragraph so it is not indented.)

Step 12: In the new paragraph you created in step 11, create a "Top of Page" hyperlink using the top bookmark as its target.

Step 13: Create a "Top of Page" hyperlink to the top bookmark below the bulleted list that appears below the "Managers" heading. Save jobs.htm.

Step 14: Add a task associated with the Job Opportunities page with the Task name New jobs with the description When the new staff associate positions have been created, add them to this page. Assign the task to yourself, and assign it a high priority. When you are done, paste a print screen of the Tasks view into homework.htm where you have been saving screen shots of your practice tests.

Step 15: Preview the home page in the browser and test the hyperlinks between pages and the hyperlinks to bookmarks. (Note: You will add content to menu.htm, fran.htm, feedback.htm, and search.htm in another tutorial.)

Step 16: In a new paragraph at the bottom of jobs.htm, use the Insert Comment feature to add a comment that you can see in Design view with the following content: "This page last updated by [Your Name]." (Type your own name.) Save jobs.htm. Paste a print screen of the jobs.htm page in Design view with the comment visible into homework.htm where you have been saving screen shots of your practice tests.

Step 17: Save your Web and press F5 to refresh the Folder List view before beginning this step to insure that your folders and files are accurately displayed. In Folder List view, expand the Images folder so that I can see the filenames of all files stored here. Drag the right edge of the Folder List bar so that the entire Web site URL is displayed. Paste a print screen of this page into homework.htm where you have been saving screen shots of your practice tests. Your Web should be organized as shown here. Your Images file names may be different.

Step 18. When you are finished with all steps for grill, open grill in Internet Explorer. Click inside the Address box and press Ctrl-C to copy the URL to grill. Open your e-mail client and paste the URL into the body of the message. You should see a hyperlink to your Web site appear. The e-mail subject line should be Your Name, last 4 digits of your student ID, T3WS.

Step 19. Next, open homework.htm in Internet Explorer by clicking the Preview button. Click inside the Address box and press Ctrl-C to copy the URL to homework.htm. Paste the URL into the body of the message on a new line below the grill URL. You should see a hyperlink to homework.htm page appear.

When you receive your grade for T3WS, correct all errors as noted in my e-mail to you before you continue this case in Tutorial 4.  Any errors that are not corrected will result in another deduction in T4WS. Reply to my e-mail with the list of corrections as soon as you have fixed all problems. I will make note of it and you are then ready to continue to the next tutorial. I will use the list of corrections as a checklist to be sure you made all changes.

T3PT, up to 10 points:  The URL for Tutorial 3 Practice Test is http://caot.lacitycollege.edu/112/TestsPractice/tutorial_3_practice.htm. When you click this URL, the Tutorial 3 Practice test will open in your browser. Type your name in the Name box, answer each question, then click Check Your Work. You may retake the test as many times as you want until you earn the desired score.

When you are satisfied with the score, paste a print screen into homework.htm that shows your name and the score. Paste the print screen at the top of the page so your most recent test is always shown first. When you are finished, open homework.htm in Internet Explorer by clicking the Preview button. Click inside the Address box and press Ctrl-C to copy the URL to homework.htm. Open your e-mail client and paste the URL into the body of the message. You should see a hyperlink to homework.htm appear. The e-mail subject line should be Your Name, last 4 digits of your student ID, T3PT.

  90-100%  = 10 pts.
    80-89%  = 5 pts.
Below 80%  = 0 pts.

 

  • Read through Tutorial 4 and complete the Quick Checks.
Tutorials 3: The best way to prepare is to study the Quick Checks in the book and the practice tests:
  • We will create and start work on your Final Web site, Items 1 and 2, next week, so you should have your topic in mind. I realize many of you will change your mind on your topic, and that's fine. But you need to have a topic in mind as a starting point regardless for next week.
