Q: I got a low grade on the pw_files assignment. How did that happen? Is there anything I can do about it?
A: Yes. Figure out what you did wrong, correct all problems, and then show me your work after school. I will raise your grade. Let's look at what I wrote on the white board while you were working on the assignment:
White Board, 11/30/2015
- If your Title appeared one way on the page, and a different way in the Title Box in Dreamweaver, your grade dropped. For example, if the page says "Links" and the Title box says "links". The first is correct, as it is written in Title Case. In any case, they must match.
- If you typed your name starting with a lowercase letter, it is considered to be a spelling error, and your grade dropped. Of course, misspellings of any kind lowered your grade. Standard mistakes include "Acedemics" rather than "Academics", "Intrests" instead of "Interests", and "Turtorial" instead of "Tutorial". By the way, everyone makes typing errors. That's why I am going to use the Check Spelling command right now: Shift+F7.
- Your file names can't be spell checked in Dreamweaver. However, you can spell check the page, and then compare the two yourself. Remember the four acceptable character types: lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and the dot. You can refresh your files by clicking the curled arrow icon, or by using the shortcut F5.
- Double check your folder and file structure against what's written here. Make sure that your image folder is inside your root folder, and that your root folder is inside your network folder. If this is incorrect, you must move them and/or rename them as the case may be. You will have to reset your Site Definitions if you move or rename your root folder. There is a tutorial to help you with this, below.
Remember to use the Check Spelling command before you save your work, and before you consider your work to be complete. The Check Spelling shortcut: Shift+F7.
