Project and term paper

1. The goal of the term paper is
   • to create a multimedia document (i.e. including text, graphics, sound)
   • with a topic from the area of intonation, prosody
   • with a conventional scientific introduction to the topic, and
   • illustration of the concepts with multimedia elements.
2. The term paper can be produced in any of a number of ways, but the recommended procedure is the following:
   • Design the structure of the term paper (and describe this structure in the term paper itself).
   • Prepare materials using CoolEdit and Praat.
   • Analyse materials and design the document structure (with document objects such as tables, graphics, sound files).
   • Create an outline in MS Word.
   • Test this with RTFTOHTML.
   • Check the techniques for transferring graphics and sound files to your WORD document.
   • Study the RTFTOHTML manual for information on how to code special hypertext features in WORD.
   • Create your WORD document.
   • Convert to HTML with RTFTOHTML.
   • If necessary, modifiy the HTML output, e.g. by hand, to create the results you want.
   • But remember: only do this at the final stage, as `postprocessing', because if you then change your original document and re-convert it to HTML, you will have to re-do all your modifications as well.
