Reflection Journal: Lab#8

This lab was about creating a list of things in three different ways in a html document. The three ways are definition list, ordered list and unordered list. I used text edit to make a html with the tags such as <ul> for unordered list, <ol> for ordered list and <li> to list items. To organize these lists, I used table. In the first column, there are my favorite foods. In the second column, there are my favorite movies. In the third column and the fourth column, there are my favorite and least favorite subjects in school. In the fifth and the last column, there are my favorite music and my shopping list.

Homework October 20,2014: MP1-Self Evaluation

I think I did decent in the first marking period. Since my goal for this marking period was to get 85 or higher in this class, I was to able to achieve it by getting 95. Also, I learned basic skills of web designing through the labs and the project. But, I still need to improve in different ways. One way is that I need to manage time and spend it effectively because I couldn't finish some of the labs and other works during class. Therefore, I had to finish them up at home.  Another way is to explain things in detail. Because I lacked explanation in the works that I needed to explain, I got a deduction on the grades of the assignment. As a web designer, I need to be able to write things in detail in order to show my enthusiasm to my clients, my teachers and other people.
