Assignment #3: Construct Your Own Web Survey

Due: Sept. 13th

This assignment requires you to build your own web form. Construct a web page that collects information about some feature of language (see the examples). Your web form should have one link. The link can be internal (a link to another part of the same page) or external (a link to another web page). You will need to obtain your own account from Academic Computing, and will need to learn the basics of transferring files from your own computer to a KU server and setting the access default for your public_html directory (chmod 755 public_html). We will cover these procedures in class.

Your survey does not have to be complete, in that it may only contain two or three questions that will be part of the survey. Ultimately, you may wish to design a complete survey for the final project requirement for the class.
