English 309M is a computer based class whose main purpose is to increase students' knowledge and skill of hyperwriting. Though the class is not very difficult, it still requires hard work and time. As a student enrolled in English 309M, I have learned different ways to apply the computer for specific writing projects. During this process, I've had difficult times trying to complete assignments because of my lack of experience with Hyperwriting. The two most complicated problems that I have been confronted with are trying to make images and links when building a web site in HTML form. I believe many students who lack knowledge of HTML also have problems with this. Even though there is a packet that can help you, it is too complex and a lot to read. Thus, upcoming students would most likely benefit from a simplified decription of how to make images and links in HTML form.
In the class we were assigned a project to turn a persuasive paper into a web site by using HTML form. At first, I had no idea what HTML meant and how to use it. When the professor explained how to start a web site, I was still puzzled, but was determined to gain an understanding. On the day I decided to work on the project, I sat at the computer for about thirty minutes having no clue as to what I was doing. Eventually I got up and left. It took more than a week for me to finally understand how to make images and links. And when I learned how, it became very easy to do. Although I still don't know how to do a lot in HTML, I do know the basics of building a web site.
