CST295: Web Programming with JavaScript

Comprehensive Final Project

• This "take-home" Comprehensive Final Exam is worth 20% of the final grade
• Create a completely new website with three or more web pages and related stylesheet(s) that contain several JavaScript elements; remember that for all web documents, formatting should be implemented with CSS formatting elements and layout with CSS structural elements
• This website assignment is "open-ended" and may be of any application that you choose; you might consider beginning the process of this assignment by going onto the Internet and finding examples of how dynamic content implemented through scripting are used to enhance the appearance and functionality of websites; also you may talk to the professor if you are looking for ideas
• Students who receive the higher grades on this project will pay attention to two elements in particular:
  1. Experimentation by going onto the Internet to websites such as w3schools.com or from readings in other chapters in the textbook, researching new dynamic JavaScript elements that have not been previously introduced in class lectures and including them in the assigned web documents (you cannot receive the highest possible grade without including some of these additional components)
  2. Professional style and appearance (including the elements of good website design that you learned in CST161), creativity and complexity of the web documents
• Students who are taking both CST161 and CST297 concurrently this semester may do a combined project for both classes implementing HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery with a minimum of five web documents to be submitted for both classes (at least three of the web documents must include JavaScript and/or jQuery elements); the project should be uploaded to both the CST161 and CST297 "Final Project" dropboxes
• Students who upload their Final Project to a web host will receive one half grade increase for their Final Course Grade; you still should submit the project to the "Comprehensive Final Exam" dropbox in Blackboard where additionally you should type the URL for the uploaded project in the assignment textbox

• For this Final Exam project, students must work together in teams of two or three, and all students in the group will submit the same project to their own dropboxes in Blackboard.  In the text box's dropbox, as well as in the source code documentation (comments), state the name(s) of the classmate(s) with whom you worked.
• The completed project with a .ZIP file (check out the link Compressing (Zipping) Projects) containing all files that make up Project 13 submitted electronically via an attachment to a Blackboard dropbox is due to Prof. Struck no later than 11:59 p.m. on the date listed in the course outline.
