Specification

• A completed assignment does not have to exactly resemble the "Isaac's Schedule" document.
• A completed assignment requires valid html, NOT what validator.w3.org specifies
• Capitalization of tags should be ignored
• Should students choose to use CSS instead of HTML attributes, no points should be deducted
• The document should render properly on Chrome
  • If the document has invalid syntax for an attribute a note should be left but no points should be deducted
    • Example: <div width="100px"> or <table border="1px">
    • the "px" is invalid but the page still renders
    • Other case: align="middle"
    • This isn't recognized as valid in the spec but works on most browsers
• Base grade is 10% if the student submits any form of html regardless of errors
