    <h1>Re: Eileen Dover university application</h1>

    <p>Dear Eileen,</p>

    <p>Thank you for your recent application to join us at the University of Awesome's science faculty to study as part of your <abbr title="Doctor of Philosophy">PhD</abbr> next year. I will answer your questions one by one, in the following sections.</p>

    <h2>Starting dates</h2>

    <p>We are happy to accommodate you starting your study with us at any time, however it would suit us better if you could start at the beginning of a semester; the start dates for each one are as follows:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>First semester: <time datetime="2016-09-09">9 September 2016</time></li>
      <li>Second semester: <time datetime="2017-01-15">15 January 2017</time></li>
      <li>Third semester: <time datetime="2017-05-02">2 May 2017</time></li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>Please let me know if this is ok, and if so which start date you would prefer.</p>

    <p>You can find more information about <a href="http://example.com" title="important university dates">important university dates</a> on our website.</p>


    <h2>Subjects of study</h2>

    <p>At the Awesome Science Faculty, we have a pretty open-minded research facility — as long as the subjects fall somewhere in the realm of science and technology. You seem like an intelligent, dedicated researcher, and just the kind of person we'd like to have on our team. Saying that, of the ideas you submitted we were most intrigued by are as follows, in order of priority:</p>
    
    <ol>
      <li>Turning H<sub>2</sub>O into wine, and the health benefits of Resveratrol (C<sub>14</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.)</li>
      <li>Measuring the effect on performance of funk bassplayers at temperatures exceeding 30&deg;C (86&deg;F), when the audience size exponentially increases (effect of 3 &times; 10<sup>3</sup> &gt; to 3 &times; 10<sup>4</sup>.)</li>
      <li><abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> and <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr> constructs for representing musical scores.</li>
    </ol>
    
    <p>So please can you provide more information on each of these subjects, including how long you'd expect the research to take, required staff and other resources, and anything else you think we'd need to know? Thanks.</p>


    <h2>Exotic dance moves</h2>

    <p>Yes, you are right! As part of my post-doctorate work, I <em>did</em> study exotic tribal dances. To answer your question, my favourite dances are as follows, with definitions:</p>

    <dt>Polynesian chicken dance</dt>
    <dd>A little known but <em>very</em> influential dance dating back as far as 300<abbr title="before Christ">BC</abbr>, a whole village would dance around in a circle like chickens, to encourage their livestock to be "fruitful".</dd>
    <dt>Icelandic brownian shuffle</dt>
    <dd>Before the Icelanders developed fire as a means of getting warm, they used to practice this dance, which involved huddling close together in a circle on the floor, and shuffling their bodies around in imperceptibly tiny, very rapid movements. One of my fellow students used to say that he thought this dance inspired modern styles such as Twerking.</dd>
    <dt>Arctic robot dance</dt>
    <dd>An interesting example of historic misinformation, English explorers in the 1960s believed to have discovered a new dance style characterized by "robotic", stilted movements, being practiced by inhabitants of Northern Alaska and Canada.

Hi @fenosoaliva_ratovoson

I just saw that here are some of your unanswered assignments. I totally forgot about them. That’s the reason, why I said in the other topic that it’s best to start new topics for new assigments. :sweat_smile:

Your code looks mostly fine. Below are some small remarks.

Selectors

`.alert+.stop` means "A `stop` class element that immediately follows an `alert` class element ". You would use `.alert.stop` to say "An element that has both classes".

To specifically target unvisited links you can use a:link.

.container > p targets all direct children (not just the first one). You would need :first-child on the p.

To make this a[href="https://example.com"] usable for all external links you could change it to a[href^="https"] (starting with https).

Writing modes

Both exercises correct. Nice work!

Hi @Danil_Dark and welcome to the community :wave:

Great work on this exercise! Congratulations! :medal_sports:

Here are some small remarks:

  • No need for the <p> inside <address>.
  • I agree with your comments about not using <time> on “300 BC” and “1960s”. It adds no real value.
  • The <cite> and <q> inside “Icelandic brownian shuffle” feel a bit over-engineered. :wink:
  • On the other hand the use of <cite> and <q> in the last line is perfect.

It depends on how you use <br>s. When you have a long text you should never use <br> to make lines shorter. Someone on a smaller would otherwise see a combination of automatic line breaks and your <br>s:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer <!-- automatic -->
adipiscing elit. <!-- the <br> -->
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean <!-- automatic -->
massa. Cum <!-- the <br> -->
sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis <!-- automatic -->
parturient <!-- the <br> -->
montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.

A better way to make text not span the whole big screen would be using a wrapper element around the text with a max-width for example and no <br>s. You also shouldn’t use double <br> to make empty lines between text blocks. Wrap these blocks with <p> and add a margin-bottom to CSS.

A good use case for <br>s are addresses or poems. (Naturally short lines where the readability would be messed up without line breaks).

I hope that helps. Feel free to ask more questions. :slightly_smiling_face:

Have a nice day,
Michael

Hi @N-Obel and welcome to the community :wave:

The forum removed a lot of your tags when you copied the code into your post. I’m not able to properly assess it. It would be the best to share your code in an online editor like https://codepen.io/, https://glitch.com or https://jsfiddle.net/. Thank you :blush:

Michael

coucou @mikoMK! ce n’est pas grave je sais que tu as beaucoup de travail :blush:, merci beaucoup

Hi @alexn83 and welcome to the community :wave:

Great job! Congratulations. :tada:

There are only two small things:

  • No need for the <p> inside <address>.
  • I would rather set the “sender-column” class on the <address> and the <p> than using an <article>. The other possibility would be to change the <article> to <div> which doesn’t have a semantic meaning.

The rest looks fine. :slightly_smiling_face:

By the way, if you plan on doing more tasks it would be helpful if you could share your code in an online editor like https://codepen.io/, https://glitch.com or https://jsfiddle.net/. It’s much easier for us if we can see the result and test things out if necessary. Also the forum removes and changes certain code automatically. Thank you :blush:

Have a nice day,

Hola, soy un nuevo usuario y agradecería evaluación para el ejercicio Marking up a letter.

Adjunto enlace para su comprobación:

Muchas gracias por sus comentarios y por dedicarme su tiempo.

Hi @jimfoxes and welcome to the community :wave:

Congratulations! Great work. :tada:

Here are some comments:

  • <strong> is preferred over <b> because it also has the meaning of importance.
  • You can omit the last <br> in the address since it automatically breaks the line.
  • Everything else is fine. :+1:

Have a nice day,
Michael

Hi @Bogdan_Shimko and welcome to the community :wave:

Nice work. Here are some remarks:

  • For the two blocks with addresses and contact information the <address> tag would be more appropriate.
  • The three semester dates should also have <time> tags.
  • On the last line, it would be better to use <q> around the quote and <cite> around its source.
  • The rest looks fine. :slightly_smiling_face:

See you,
Michael

well done, not bad :+1:

Re: Eileen Dover university application

Dear Eileen,

Thank you for your recent application to join us at the University of Awesome's science faculty to study as part of your PhD next year. I will answer your questions one by one, in the following sections.

Starting dates

We are happy to accommodate you starting our study with us at any time,y however it would suit us better if you could start at the beginning of a semester; the start dates for each one are as follows:

  • First semester:9 September 2016
  • Second semester:15 January 2017
  • Third semester:2 May 2017

Please let me know if this is ok, and if so which start date you would prefer.

You can find more information about important university dates on our website.

Subjects of study

At the Awesome Science Faculty, we have a pretty open-minded research facility — as long as the subjects fall somewhere in the realm of science and technology. You seem like an intelligent, dedicated researcher, and just the kind of person we'd like to have on our team. Saying that, of the ideas you submitted we were most intrigued by are as follows, in order of priority:

  1. Turning H2O into wine, and the health benefits of Resveratrol (C14H12O3.)
  2. Measuring the effect on performance of funk bassplayers at temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F), when the audience size exponentially increases (effect of 3 × 103 increasing to 3 × 104.)
  3. HTML and CSS constructs for representing musical scores.

So please can you provide more information on each of these subjects, including how long you'd expect the research to take, required staff and other resources, and anything else you think we'd need to know? Thanks.

Exotic dance moves

Yes, you are right! As part of my post-doctorate work, I did study exotic tribal dances. To answer your question my favourite dances are as follows, with definitions:

Polynesian chicken dance
A little known but very influential dance dating back as far as 300BC, a whole village would dance around in a circle like chickens, to encourage their livestock to be "fruitful".
Icelandic brownian shuffle
Before the Icelanders developed fire as a means of getting warm, they used to practice this dance, which involved huddling close together in a circle on the floor, and shuffling their bodies around in imperceptibly tiny, very rapid movements. One of my fellow students used to say that he thought this dance inspired modern styles such as Twerking.
Arctic robot dance
An interesting example of historic misinformation, English explorers in the 1960s believed to have discovered a new dance style characterized by "robotic", stilted movements, being practiced by inhabitants of Northern Alaska and Canada. Later on however it was discovered that they were just moving like this because they were really cold.

For more of my research, see my exotic dance research page.

Yours sincerely,

Hi @fakbo and welcome to the community :wave:

Could you please put your code into an online editor like https://codepen.io/, https://glitch.com or https://jsfiddle.net/. The forum parses the HTML tags and therefore I can’t see and assess them. Thank you! :blush:

See you,
Michael

PS: Your email address is visible in your post. It ended up in the optional “name” field of your profile. I recommend removing it.

Hi, first time here. If someone could review I would be pleased :smile:

Here is the code : https://jsfiddle.net/0hegpbmu/1/

Thank you :blush:

Hi @zera and welcome to the community :wave:

Congratulations! Very well done. :medal_sports:

The only thing that isn’t quite right is the last line. You should use <cite> around the source of the quote: <cite>Bill S Preston, <abbr title="esquire">Esq</abbr></cite>. The quote itself should be wrapped in a <q> element (inline quote).

Everything else is fine. :+1:

See you,
