Expandable navigation menu

I am trying to step to the next level from student to amateur web developer, and I would like to make sure I am not making any web-development no-no's, that's all. What caused me to want to ask SO this question is that I had to make some tweaks to make my responsive design work.

For instance, I had to make a lot of my positions "absolute" and had to do some hacking in my HTML, making a different nav bar if it's mobile, desktop or tablet (you'll see I haven't done anything with tablet) design. I'm also pretty new to jQuery, although I'm a programmer so I think that code is okay, but I'll post it anyways. Some other stuff as well, would really appreciate ANY feedback, and I really want some good criticism so I can become better.

$('nav').hide();

$('.assignmentsDown').click(function() {

$('nav.aDown').slideDown(2000);

{
$('nav.wDown').slideToggle(300);

if($('.pDown').is(":visible"))
{
$('nav.pDown').slideToggle(300);
}

$('nav.aDown').slideDown(2000);

$('.writingDown').click(function() {
$('nav.wDown').slideDown(2000);

if($('.aDown').is(":visible"))
{
$('nav.aDown').slideToggle(300);
}

if($('.pDown').is(":visible"))
{
$('nav.pDown').slideToggle(300);
}

});

$('.presentationDown').click(function() {
$('nav.pDown').slideDown(2000);

if($('.wDown').is(":visible"))
{
$('nav.wDown').slideToggle(300);
}

if($('.aDown').is(":visible"))
{
$('nav.aDown').slideToggle(300);
}

});

}); //closes ready

From a once over:

• $(document).ready(function () {

• Indenting, you are not doing it consistently

• $('.assignmentsDown').click(function() { and

$('.writingDown').click(function() { and

$('.presentationDown').click(function() { all use copy pasted code, you should consider a generic function that can be used for all 3 situations

• It is consider better form nowadays to have your JavaScript in a separate .js file
