Hi @alexyarosh , sorry to add something more to your workload. I've done my best with the course, and there are no exercises where people struggle.

I've tidied up the diagrams and made as many tweaks as possible. Have also changed one exercise type (4.7) from an MC to an MC with a console. Don't know if it improves things, but thought it might be good if they can play with the files in the console. Curious to see your thoughts.

I'm so sorry you got stuck with this course! Your changes definitely make it clearer.

I noticed that there are a few exercises that are multi-step exercises with one step. I mentioned that to Richie and asked if there's any particular reason why. He said that it probably happened during the development process, and was just never fixed later. He also said that we should probably convert them to normal console exercises (but copy the ex key from the old ones).

I was also not able to reproduce the error in step 2 of last exercise that so many students are complaining about (as recently as yesterday!) but we should keep an eye on that

a) Thanks, but I'm sure you have worse. b) Yeah, I noticed it too but wondered if there was a reason for it. Thanks for asking Richie about it. I have gone through and converted them. c) I wasn't either. I tried every possible combination in the diff-viewer, and could not seem to screw things up like the feedback described. But indeed, will watch out for it.
