The 'Term-Paper' Approach, and
The 'Schematic Web-Site.'
All projects will deal with some aspect of one (or more) of the ten (X) Outlines in this course, i.e., with some aspect of World History to ca. 1500. The goal of each Individual is to use the Internet as an educational resource to the extent you find practical. The Group Goal is to create the best possible (to paraphrase our Text's title) "History Community on the Web."
There are two general ways to proceed, but in line with the Classical Greek conception of Arete' or Personal Excellence, the second approach works best. I encourage you to choose the "Schematic Web-Site" Approach, and will do all we (myself and Jane) can to help you. If you have not done a computer project like this before, then all the more reason to choose it: The benefits are many.
The 'Term-Paper' Approach, and
The 'Schematic Web-Site.'
Whichever option/theme you choose for your Project, consult with the instructor because: 1.) You could gain useful tips; 2.) You might have chosen a topic that is too large to finish in one semester and we could pare it down in order to avoid a quicksand pit that would smother too much of your time. 3.) I can certainly help get us through the minor Web-Steps so that you can finish this term with a project published on the Internet at the World History Class Site.
