Copy the table below into your own journal. Next to each objective, give yourself a “confidence score” that represents how confident you feel that you will get a question about that topic right. Use a letter grade scale (A means you are very confident you will get a question about that topic correct, E means that you are very confident you will get a question about that topic wrong).
This is a completion activity and I won’t use your confidence scores to calculate any grade - so feel free to be honest!
We’ll use this to inform our study plan for the test.

(We’ll start filling this part in next class)
I reviewed html comments and now think that I could get all of the questions right. I made a minimal html page and practiced the comments on it. My new score is an A
for my second part i just wrote a basic html page to refressh how to do it and what tage to use. I am now confident that i will get any questions right. I combined these two together so there is only one page that is linked below.
