Angular 2 Final Release Promise Rejection: Unexpec

I just moved over to the Angular 2 Final Release and have removed the module.Id code from inside my components but I am getting the following errors when I try to run my application:

zone.js:355 Unhandled Promise rejection: Template parse errors:
Unexpected closing tag "a" ("                         <span>Degree Progress/Audit Report</span>
                                [ERROR ->]</a>

and I am not exactly sure why.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

The error message says it all, you have an unmatched closing tag in your template.

Either remove </a> from after the </span> tag, or add a matching <a> before the <span>.
