1.5 shows the HTML tags for bold around print, where I assume you want print in bold. It does the same with one other word in the same window.
In the Chapter 2 mixup questions, it didn't seem obvious that the code was supposed to be exactly what was done in the Parsons problems. I love the flow from solving the algorithm to having to actually type out the solution, but it wasn't obvious that was the expectation. But, a lot of simple things are not obvious to me, so I might be the problem. :-)
In the Chapter 2 mixup questions, Activity 18, the expected text in the code is not the same as the text in the Parsons problem - "minutes" was added to the expected text. I'm worried that might confuse some of the students.
In 4.7.3 Q-4 the expected answer is "exception". The way I read it "exceptions" would be the answer, or "an exception" would work. Just grammar issues, but it took me a while to figure out what it wanted. I actually had to peek at the source. I wonder if the regex could make the ending s optional?
Love what I'm seeing. If I come across anything else I'll update this (if I can), or add a new entry.
