That explains a lot. Their own web site is a mass of bloated, 1996-style
code with a few CSS bits thrown in. It looks like crap in my browser,
too. Not atypical for a bunch of graphic designers who try to do web
design, too. They have no business teaching HTML, since they don't seem
to understand it themselves. ;)

Complain to the school. Nothing will get better if nobody speaks up.

You can't design a web site if you don't understand the basics. Your
instructor apparently skipped the fundamentals, so it's no wonder you
are lost.
Someone else pointed you to the W3C specs, but that can be hard to
swallow for a newbie. HTMLDog has been a recommended tutorial in these
parts before, but I've never read through it myself. Maybe it will be
easier to comprehend than the W3C site.

Good luck, you'll probably need it.
