            1. 2 pts: Modularity and Abstraction - Content vs Structure

            2. 1 pt: Creating a Digital Artifact - User Needs
              The page is formatted in a logical way that is fairly consistent with their plan in the project guide and meets the user’s needs.
            3. 3 pts: Creating a Digital Artifact - Using HTML
              They use HTML to create a web page with at least 3 hierarchical heading tags, 3 paragraph tags, and at least 3 lists.
            4. 1 pt: Clean Code and Documentation - Readability
              They use white space and indentation to make code consistently well formatted, with nested tags aligned vertically to make them easier to read.
            5. 1 pt: Clean Code and Documentation - Comments
              Comments are used throughout the page to make their code more readable.
            6. 2 pts: Using Computer Languages - Precision and Syntax
