The head, body, and closing html tags are missing

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Kevin | student</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
  <h1>Kevin</h1>
  <h2>student</h2>
</header>
<section>
  <p>stuff will go here.</p>
</section>
<footer>
  <p>&copy; 2014 kevin student</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>

This is the standard HTML 5 layout

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
