PS09 Reflection Due Sun, Apr 30 at 23:59 EST
General Instructions
A reflection involves comparing your work to the solutions, and answering questions about the solutions and the learning process during the problem set.
Reflections are designed to help you take an active role in monitoring your learning. Because we value the time and effort you put into a good reflection, you will also receive credit for completing them.
The process is more or less the following: read the questions in the reflection form, study the solutions carefully, and then go back to the form to answer the questions. In the reflection form, provide detailed answers, which may include code snippets from your assignment or the solution to illustrate your point. Do not copy your entire program into the form -- we have your code submission. Only select short snippets when explaining a particular aspect of your code.
Occasionally we'll also ask you to extend your knowledge by modifying the given solutions.
Note that vague or very general answers will receive little credit, and a missing submission will receive 0 points.
Reflections must be completed independently. You can discuss reflection questions with instructors, but not tutors or other classmates.
Reflection Answers from PS08
There was only one question that was not open-ended in PS08, the first question about what happens if we apply two CSS rules to the line:
<h1 class="spotlight">some text here</h1>A short answer is: Assuming the rules for h1 and spotlight follow one another in the CSS file,
first the h1 rule is applied to this element, and then the rule for .spotlight. This leads to a
combined effect, which is what you also saw in the first problem of the PS08 Quiz (where the second
h1 was centered and had a surrounding box.)
