Please see the poorly designed and fairly unattractive example of a table above. Notice that the table is not tremendously attractive, and that it contains quite a bit of redundant information in the first column.

Your assignment: use the design techniques you learned in this lesson and the last lesson to improve the appearance and readability of this table.

No need to turn in this assignment, as there is no right answer. Try using the bgcolor, colspan, and/or rowspan parameters to make the table look more attractive and professional. If you have trouble improving the appearance of the table, remember that you can ask for help in the lesson 2 discussion area.

And if you're particularly proud of what you've done and have access to a Web server, feel free to upload the page to a server and post the URL in the lesson 2 discussion area.
