Assignments > HW4: CSS Grid

Due on Fri, 10/06 @ 11:59PM. 20 Points.

Overview

The goal of this week’s homework is to give you practice with CSS Grid. To do this, you will complete 4 exercises.

Homework 4 can be completed individually or in pairs. If you decide to work in pairs, you can discuss solutions and share code with your partner. That said, both people should still complete all of the exercises, commit their own files to GitHub, and and submit to the Moodle separately. If you collaborated with someone, you will just make a note of who you worked with in the comments section.
