Google Website Creation

Create a Google website to use for this course, where the website name itself includes at least your last name.  Take a look at this sample website to start with, paying attention to what pages and subpages are there.  (You must create a new website for this course and may not add on to some other website you might already have.)  

Make sure you start by being logged in to your university account. Consider watching this 15 min or this 17 min. tutorial on how to create a google site, or see google's documentation, or do your own search to find a good google sites creation tutorial.

Once your site is created, make sure you publish it so your classmates can see it and the instructional staff can access it for grading. To publish it, from your home page select the  Publish  blue button near the upper-right.  After doing this once again go up to the  Publish  blue button near the upper-right, and this time select the drop-down arrow (Publish Options) immediately to the right of it, and select "View published site".  Copy your new site address and use this to view your site from within a browser incognito window, to make sure the permissions on all your content is such that it shows up properly.

Once you have created your website, do a one-time registration of your website, following the instructions shown near the top of the Homework page.  

Keep in mind that the projected audience for your website is general, with an emphasis on it being helpful for a person thinking of hiring you.  You should make your website world-readable.  Your website must have the same structure, page names, and page order as shown on the sample website.  You should have pages for About Me, Resume, Homework, Projects, and Other, as described in more detail below.

About Me page

You should have:

1. A header with a customized ChatGPT background that is different from the backgrounds used for other pages.  Your page must prominently include your email and LinkedIn page (if you have one), and any other contact information that might be relevant to a potential employer.

2. Biographical information summarizing where you are in your career and any highlights so far.  This section should include a picture of you.

3. More details, including pictures and other information that helps give a sense of who you are as a person

4. Links to things online that you find interesting.

Resume page

This should have a header with a customized ChatGPT background that is different from the backgrounds used for other pages. 
This page should contain a text version of your resume.  See the sample on the sample website. If you have not created a resume before, you might find this page (Univ. of Arizona) helpful, or you could do a Google search for resume creating tutorials on educational (edu) domain sites using:
      tutorial on creating a first resume site:*.edu

Your resume must have at least four different categories (e.g. Education, Experience, Projects, Other,  or other such headings.)  We will be using your resumes for an activity later in the semester.

Homework page

This should have a header with a customized ChatGPT background that is different from the backgrounds used for other pages.
This page should have sub-pages, one for each homework assignment. Generally you should expect to have a homework assignment associated with each class.  The sub-pages should be named HW n  where n is a whole number starting from 1.  Note there is a single space between "HW" and the following number.  Having the names be exact is what will allow us to find your homework for grading.

Each homework page should provide evidence of the work done.  In the case of the first homework (create a website), the first homework page should have a link to your website.

Projects page

This should have a header with a customized ChatGPT background that is different from the backgrounds used for other pages.
There should be exactly four Project sub-pages, with exactly the following names:

• Proj 1: Machine Learning

• Proj 2: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

• Proj 3: AI Agents

• Proj 4: All Together

Having the names be exact is what will allow us to find your projects for grading. Capitalization and spellings all matter for this!

Other page

This should have a header with a customized ChatGPT background that is different from the backgrounds used for other pages.
This is where you can put other content that will not be considered for grading in this class.
