Re: Eileen Dover university application
Dear Eileen, Thank you for your recent application to join us at the University of Awesome's science faculty to study as part of your PhD next year. I will answer your questions one by one, in the following sections. Starting dates We are happy to accomodate you starting your study with us at any time, however it would suit us better if you could start at the beginning of a semester; the start dates for each one are as follows:
First semester: 9 September 2016
Second semester: 15 January 2017
Third semester: 2 May 2017
Please let me know if this is ok, and if so which start date you would prefer. You can find more information about important university dates on our website.
Subjects of study
At the Awesome Science Faculty, we have a pretty open-minded research facility — as long as the subjects fall somewhere in the realm of science and technology. You seem like an intelligent, dedicated researcher, and just the kind of person we'd like to have on our team. Saying that, of the ideas you submitted we were most intrigued by are as follows, in order of priority:
Turning H2O into wine, and the health benefits of Resveratrol (C14H12O3.)
Measuring the effect on performance of funk bassplayers at tempratures exceeding 30oC (86oF), when the audience size exponentially increases (effect of 3 x 103 > 3 x 104.)
HTML and
CSS constructs for representing musical scores.
So please can you provide more information on each of these subjects, including how long you'd expect the research to take, required staff and other resources, and anything else you think we'd need to know? Thanks.
Exotic dance moves
Yes, you are right! As part of my post-doctorate work, I did study exotic tribal dances. To answer your question, my favourite dances are as follows, with definitions:
Polynesian chicken dance
A little known but very influential dance dating back as far as 300
BC, a whole village would dance around in a circle like chickens, to encourage their livestock or be "fruitful".
Icelandic brownian shuffle
Before the Icelanders developed fire as a means of getting warm, they used to practice this dance, which involved huddling close together in a circle on the floor, and shuffling their bodies around in imperceptably tiny, very rapid movements. One of my fellow students used to say that he thought this dance inspired modern styles such as Twerking.
Arctic robot dance
An interesting example of historic misinformation, English explorers in the 1960s believed to have discovered a new dance style characterised by "robotic", stilted movements, being practiced by inhabitants of Northern Alaska and Canada. Later on however it was discovered that they were just moving like this because they were really cold.

Hello there!
From a cursory look, your markup structure looks pretty good. A
few immediate thoughts:
You’ve got two <header> tags - the second one needs to be
turned into a closing tag for the markup to work as expected.
It looks like you’ve got an extra closing </p> before the
second <header> tag.
Looks like you’ve missed out the date/time.
The sentences on the same lines as the <h2> elements need
to be inside their own paragraphs
You can see all you need to do to complete the assessment on our
marking guide:
github.com
mdn/learning-area/blob/master/html/introduction-to-html/marking-up-a-letter-finished/marking-guide.md
# Marking guide for "Marking up a letter"
The following guide outlines a marking guide for the MDN Learning Area HTML Topic — [Marking up a letter](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML/Marking_up_a_letter). Each subtask detailed in the assessment is listed below, along with an explanation of how many marks the task is worth, and the mark breakdown.
Note: These are guidelines, not set in stone rules — you are of course free to use your judgement on mark awarding when you meet an edge case, or somethign that isn't clearly cut.
The overall mark awarded is out of 47. Work out their final mark, and then divide by 47 and multiply by 100 to give a percentage mark. For reference, you can find a [finished marked up letter](index.html) that would be awarded top marks.
## Block/structural semantics
<dl>
<dt>You should structure the overall document with an appropriate structure including doctype, and <html>, <head> and <body> elements (5 marks)</dt>
<dd>They need to:
<ul>
<li>Provide an HTML5 doctype (<!doctype html>, 1 mark)</li>
<li>Include a <head> element just below that (1 mark)</li>
<li>Wrap the content in a <body> element (1 mark)</li>
<li>Wrap head and body in an <html> element (1 mark)</li>
<li>You get one bonus mark for including a lang attribute in the <html> tag (1 mark)</li>
</ul>

Probably easier though is to just check your markup against our
finished version:
github.com
mdn/learning-area/blob/master/html/introduction-to-html/marking-up-a-letter-finished/index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="author" content="Dr. Eleanor Gaye">

body {
max-width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.receiver-column {
text-align: right;
}
h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
}

Don’t get worried if you structure is not identical to ours —
there are multiple ways to do each task in web deveopment. We
didn’t include <section> and <article> elements in our
version, but you’ve used yours well, so that’s fine.
Best regards,
Chris
