Advice for next semester's students
This class has taught me a lot and has been a lot of fun. My advice to you is to do the homework early, so if you have any questions, you can get them cleared up. Also, reviewing for the multiple choice questions is kind of hard, so start studying early.

my favorite websites
I really liked Nicole's website because of all her interesting backgrounds. I liked how they all fit together well, but were different. I also enjoyed looking at John's website because of its professional feel. His website shows that he has lots of sports experience. I also really liked Chelsea's website because of the color scheme and her use of hyperlinks.

my website
Please visit my website at www.cs.trinity.edu/~hhassan/. I think making a website was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I used Microsoft Expression Web to make my website. I am most proud of my Travel page because I feel that it has the best pictures and layout. I would have changed the background to be a bit more simple. My biggest technical challenge was to get everything to be the same on every page (the size of the navbar, the background, ect) My biggest design challenge was to make the background. It took me forever! I will show my site to my friends and family. I don't think I will use this site for another class in the future.

HTML writing
Even though software like Kompozer and ExpressionWeb exist and make it easier to make web sites, it is important to know how to write HTML code manually. This skill allows you to know how to make basic web sites. Knowing how to write HTML manually also enables you to be able to go in and fix problems in the code when you experience glitches.

PowerPoint presentations
The PowerPoint presentations were all really good. The two I liked the most were Chelsea's and John's presentations. Chelsea's topic of was interesting and had a great video that showed a fascinating aspect of birds and sexual selection. The design and content were both interesting and pertinent to her topic. John's was interesting because it really showed how much he is intrigued by Pediatric Dentistry. His presentation almost persuaded me to become a Pediatric Orthodontist. His presentation was informative and professional. I liked both the content and the design.

Death by PowerPoint
A few things that are important to avoid when doing PowerPoint presentations are:
- Don't read the slides! Your audience should know how to read. Use the slides as an outline of your presentation.
- Don't be tacky! Too many animations can be distracting.
- Don't put too much info on the slides! This encourages reading off of the slide. Stick to an outline!
- Don't use too many different colors! Having a theme throughout your PowerPoint will make it look more put together.
- Don't use too much Clip Art! Having mature pictures makes presentations look all the more professional.
If you avoid these few things, your PowerPoint will be on its way to being professional, clear, and concise.
