As you review, what do you think other's reaction will be to the experience?
Students are going to like this introduction; it is useful and fun. It's a very original material. Nice work! :)
For other potential enrollees - are the challenges implemented in a way that makes the context and goals easy to understand and thus rather straightforward to complete ?(assume they have a some background knowledge,)
The content seems to be in basic algebra and physics. The quizzes are easy to understand and achieve (but some comments in code are wrong, a ticket was issued).
Is it clear that we're having a bit of fun with the storyline?
And that very hands-on practical experiences are still to come when the classroom opens.
Yes, but the level is a little low; maybe it should be very clear that is just a warm up. Some quiz don't fit in story line (reported)
Do you think it's ok for others to struggle a bit with the quizzes if it's a very real snapshot of the ND's level of intensity?
It's ok, but it does not feel like a very real snapshot of ND's level of intensity. The ND intensity is far more intense and more struggle.
For example, reading papers is not hard, but a lot of people is not used to or is afraid of. The coding part is far more complex.
Conclusions:
I think that this is a good and fun introduction. The ND start causes a lot of expectation in some students; this short introduction could relieve that.
It should be clear that it's just a warm up. The ND level is going to be harder.
