The program used for this course (Trinket) no longer runs. So solutions cannot be found.
The constant need to open and close other tabs - even using split view is clunky. It would be better to have the code written out in the course section and students cut and paste or copy it over.
It is not clear precisely which text relates to which part. This is not geared up for new learners. More images of what to see and how this relates to the text would have been useful.
