Multiple choice questions should be made clearer
I just took a look into the course and it took me quite some time to find out that the IDLE is not actually returning 'ERROR' but wants to know if I think it will return one and that the lines above are choices to answer themselves and not part of an error message. I suggest to move those in a popup window to make it clear that they are not any output.
"What do you think the result will be?" isn't clear enough?
If I thought it was clear enough in the context of its design, I wouldn't have opened an issue called "Multiple choice questions should be made clearer".
But do you mean your eyes didn't notice that bit of text, or that the wording was unclear? Is the 'Submit' button not conspicuous?
I noticed the text and thought of it as a request to hand in my scripted solution. Same with the Submit
button - I was confused why it would request me to hand in my solution after running it but didn't bother too much. What bothered me was, that the submit button was not working as I expected it to do. So, I was refreshing the page many times to set back the window and trying intensely to find a typo.
It's not clear enough, that the multiple choice questionaire is a) another stage in solving the same problem, b) not part of the shell. The shell should behave as a shell.
Note: iirc in Datacamp you have to run your solution and submit it afterwards.
