What is expected of me at this point in time (just before the Christmas Break)?

a. You should have e-mailed your professor at least one time with complaints, suggestions,
ideas, advice, and information. You still have time.

b.  There should be a home page with your name on it. I agree whole heartedly that it would not be fair to force you to expose yourself to the internet world when you don't want to. If this is the case simply create a dossier html/LOCAL/ in your account in messel and anything you put there will not be visible to the outside world. If you don't want fellow students to see your home page you can put a password on your site.(see www.javagoodies.com)

c.  There should be a web search page with a theme on project page. Here are some quick searches that I have done for sample multi search pages:

1. Math
2. Ecology
3. French (I didn't do one but come on you could)
4. Dictionaries
5. Encyclopedias (see French)

d.  You should have finished several pages for the MAZE project.

e.  As soon as all this is out of the way we can concentrate for the rest of the year or rather the
next century on The Final Project.

f. optional stuff like your letter to yourself is a plus but does not diminish your mark if it
is not done.
