THE ASSIGNMENT:

(1) Using the World Wide Web (Netscape Browser, Microsoft Explorer, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) each person should visit a number of sites which have materials on Greek or Roman mythology. You can begin a search for such sites by using one of the many "search engines" available, such as Yahoo, Excite, Lycos, or (the one devoted especially to Classical materials) Argos. A "site" is NOT defined as a page of material. A site is a collection of pages on a single topic or a collection of pages owned by a single entity (person, or business, or organization) at the same internet address ("home page").

(2) In visiting sites, look for sites which have both quantity and (you will have to be the judge) quality of information on Greek mythology . It would be a good idea to visit a considerable number of such sites during your on-line research. During your research you may want to print-out samples of materials on the sites you find the most valuable (NOTE: Though you may work in the Barbara Ann Ward Language Center (the Language Lab,, 316 Jerome Richfield Hall), we do not have facilities there to print out materials for students. You should SAVE items to a floppy disk or similar media, and then print them out at home or elsewhere).

(3) From your visits, SELECT ten (-10-) sites which you consider to have been the most valuable in providing you USEFUL information for your work in your course. In your report, which IS the Internet Assignment, you should EVALUATE your ten best sites, devoting at least 100 words to each of the ten sites. Each site evaluation should include:

(a) a description of the various materials contained at the site.

(b) an evaluation of the quality and usefulness of this material for our course.

NOTE: In calculating your 100 words per site, you must not count single-letter words (I, O), or two-letter words (if, in, to, so, etc.).
