Undergraduate Web Projects 2001
These projects were all done by Level II Chemistry students in the 3 week period between taking their final exams and receiving their results, June 2001. They were written with minimal formal instructions - the students were just told to 'teach themselves how to write a web page, and write something interesting on a chemical or scientific theme.' The best four sites (chosen from these and from the 1st year students doing the Computer Methods COMS course) were entered for the Royal Society of Chemistry ExemplarChem National Competition. The sites were judged on (i) Quality and quantity of scientific content, (ii) Design, and (iii) Internet awareness.
The sites entered for the RSC competition were:
Update October 2001 - In the ExemplarChem judging, the projects by Joel Loveridge and Sarah Anderson both won national prizes. More details from here.
Honourable mentions go to: John Bower, Martha Evens, Jacob Filik, Simon Gerrard, Hannah Morgan, Daniel Grey, Eric Coleman, Lucy Moorcraft, Michael Nix, Michael O'Sullivan, Andrew Owen and Jessica Tsiopani, who did excellent projects but didn't quite make the top four.
The full list of Chemistry projects submitted by Level II students is given below (those from Level I COMS students can be
found here).
Note: These projects work best with Internet Explorer, since they were mostly written with MS Frontpage. If you use Netcape you may sometimes find a few strange formatting errors, or even crashes. Also, you may need the Chime plug-in to see the 3D molecular structures present on many of the pages.
