Overview

The purpose of this assignment is:

Individual Journal Assignment

• Store this journal entry as "username Week 4" (i.e., this is the text to place between the square brackets when you link to this page).
• Link from your user page to this Assignment page.
• Link to your journal entry from your user page.
• Link back from your journal entry to your user page.
• Don't forget to add the "Journal Entry" category to the end of your wiki page.
  • Note: You can easily fulfill all of these links by adding them to your template and then using your template on your journal entry.
• For your assignment this week, you will keep an electronic laboratory notebook on your individual wiki page. An electronic laboratory notebook records all the manipulations you perform on the data and the answers to the questions throughout the protocol. Like a paper lab notebook found in a wet lab, it should contain enough information so that you or someone else could reproduce what you did using only the information from the notebook.

Homework Partners

For most weeks in the semester, you will be assigned a "homework partner" from a complementary discipline. You will be expected to consult with your partner, sharing your domain expertise, in order to complete the assignment. However, unless otherwise stated, each partner must submit his or her own work as the individual journal entry (direct copies of each other's work is not allowed). You must give the details of the interaction with your partner in the Acknowledgments section of your journal assignment. Homework partners for this week are:

Hack-a-Page

1. Visit any web page of your choice, with a decent mix of text and image content (LMU’s home page, for example)
2. Using the web browser’s developer tools, “hack” the page in the following ways:
   • Modify some text content—make it pretty obvious that you modified the page and that it couldn’t possibly be actual content on the page
   • Modify an img element so that its src links to an image on this wiki (feel free to upload something new)
3. Take a screenshot of your “hacked” page with the developer tools open, showing the sections that you modified
4. Take a screenshot of your “hacked” page without the developer tools open, for hours of fake news fun with friends and family
5. The two screenshots comprise your deliverables for this part of the assignment; make sure to display them in your Week 3 submission page
   • Don’t forget to also document what you did in your electronic notebook page for this week

Be creative, funny, clever, satirical, entertaining…enjoy your newfound capabilities!
