You may be feeling confused... Review between classes. One hour outside class is expected for each hour in class for the "average" student. This is a language. It has many parts & pieces. Don't be surprised that you need to learn where things belong. Doing it once is rarely enough.

HTML + CSS is a system Your goal: Master the system If the details are overwhelming, it's because you don't have a place to "file" the details. Study the system, not just the details!

Tips  Re-read the CSS chapter, review slides  Write a little code every day until you know what goes where  Look at your finished code. Print it if that helps you and highlight it.  So many students just hand in the lab (after trial-and-error) and stop. Handing it in is not the last step. Study what worked! HTMLCSS
