Optional Project

CS 102

60 points, due May 8, 2001

The following projects are optional. If you choose to do one, I will drop your two lowest grades rather than your single lowest grade. You may only turn in one.

1. Design a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation of 5 or 6 slides length. You may choose the topic. Your may not use a presentation created for another class. Your presentation should include a few pieces of clip art, use several bulleted lists, use a few tasteful animations, and start off with a title slide including your name. Choose an appropriate background color theme. See the Intro.ppt presentation on the S: drive in the PowerPoint folder for an example. I will only accept projects done in PowerPoint.

2. Write a second paper. The requirements are the same as for the first paper (refer to the class home page). You must choose a topic different from your first paper. I will only accept papers in Microsoft Word (.doc extension) or Rich Text File (.rtf extension) formats.
