Hypertext esssay

What did I think about the hypertext essay? I did not like it at all! I got the point of it but that is not how I think to write an essay. To have to have different pages for my responses did not seem logical. Since I had had to have different pages for certain things I seemed to get stuck with what to transition from topic to topic with on my summary page. I never did get into a flowing, writing mode. I feel as if everything is very choppy and all over the place.

When I read an essay I also do not like it to by hyper links. I rarely every click on the links and they are basically worthless to me. I figure if its not worth putting on the main page I am not going to bother reading it at all.

I understand putting links to sources in an essay. This is a good idea I believe so if you do want to see what they are talking about or where they are getting their information you can just lick and see. This is the only links that should be in a paper. If you are writing you just write everything on one page.

I'm surprised you think like this about hypertext! You are so competent designing the pages, I would have thought you preferred this format to print only.
