These projects were all done voluntarily by Level II Chemistry students in the 2 week period between taking their final exams and receiving their results, June 2000. 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 five sites (chosen from these and from the 1st year students doing the Computer Methods COMS course) have been entered for the Royal Society of Chemistry ExemplarChem National Competition. The sites were judged on (i) Quality and quantity of scientific content, (ii) Design, (iii) Navigation, foward, backward and between pages, and (iv) Relevant links to external web pages.
The sites entered for the RSC competition are:
