While grading, I noticed a few of you wrote the line break tag (<br>) with an accompanying closing tag (</br>). This method isn’t wrong but when using HTML5, you do not need the closing tag. The <br> tag by itself is enough to act as both the opening and the closing tag. To learn more, click here or here.
I’m not sure where people picked up the <div align="center"> bit but when you use a tag like that, you need an accompanying closing tag for it, too, in the form of </div>. I’m not too familiar with how it works besides that it center-aligns whatever is inside of it, including spans, but if you ever feel like you need to work through it one on one, my Wacky Writers inbox is always open to help.
So, this is really minor but when I list out properties (as I did in unit 4) that I want you to change, I expect you to change all of them. There were more than a few submissions where that wasn’t the case. The way I’ve been grading both this and the last few assignments is to first evaluate whether or not your code works as intended and then I dig into the values you used to make sure you changed the ones I asked you to. It won’t hurt your grade but it does come off as if you did not read the instructions or comprehend them fully, which makes me wonder if I’m not being clear enough.
For future assignments, I will not be handing out base codes to modify. The first five assignments were like testing out training wheels. Starting from unit six and onwards, we’ll be heading into more difficult course material. Please, please reach out to me if you’re struggling. I’m not a mind-reader and messaging all of you one by one myself after each assignment would be very time-consuming.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t be afraid to reach out to me. If you want to discuss your grade, please reach out privately. I’ll be more than happy to clarify something for you, especially if it helps you reach a deeper understanding with the code. Anywho, hope you all have a good week!
If you have an asterisk next to your grade, please message me as soon as you can!
If you have a triangle next to your grade, it means you did not change one or more of the properties given in the base code. You are not in trouble. I just want you to know I noticed. Also, I went back and forth with everyone’s codes to double check, which is why grading took longer this week.
