- Submit the URL to the project and make a zipped file maintaining the proper folder hierarchy of all of the project (all submissions require an upload) to the correct assignment folder.
Ready to upload? Check your work online after uploading the assignment to ensure the assignment link works! If you cannot see the assignment when clicking on the link you supplied, neither can I and I won’t be able to grade it.
Once you have completed the exercise you must submit the URL to the Assignment Folder. Your submission must include the full URL of the assignment (i.e. http://nova.umuc.edu/~ct386a00/final/index.html) and the LESS or SASS preprocessor files used. Make sure it is working as intended including all links and images displaying. This is a best practice part of website testing.
If any of the above materials are missing from your submission, your assignment will be considered incomplete and will result in point deductions. Please view your work on the web prior to submitting.
