Coding Quiz

We will be holding the coding quiz during our lecture time on November 14.

For the quiz you will be presented with a layout that you have to replicate using HTML and CSS. There are two parts to this quiz:

1. Text describing your two methods of reproducing the design and explanations of how and why they work (worth 7/10 marks).
2. Recreating the layout using one of your methods using HTML and CSS (worth 3/10 marks).

Coding Quiz

Part A

Explain two methods of reproducing the design above using HTML and CSS. For each method, include:

• Describe how you would reproduce the design. For example: I would use the display: grid property with...
• Explain how and why your reproduction works. For example: The display: grid property will allow the layout to ... which is why .... will be sized ... etc.

This will be worth 7 of 10 points. Part marks are possible.

Coding Quiz

Part B

Recreating the layout using one of the methods you have described using HTML and CSS.

This will be worth 3 of 10 points. Part marks are possible.

What do I review for the quiz?

I highly recommend reviewing anything we have covered with regards to HTML markup, CSS styling and layout and developer/debugging tools in preparation for the quiz.
