14,050 PointsA Suggestion about quizes and questions on Treehouse; What do you think?
Hi everyone, It's so important for us students to learn how to look up documantation of methods, objects (etc.) of the various languages learnt here on Treehouse. My suggestion is to add a question in some of the quizes, that will encourage us to do just that - to look up the answer directly in the language documentation. That will require us students to look up the answer on our own, instead of having all of the answers on the videos.
In addition each question of this sort can include a link to MDN, JQuery, W3C etc, in order to keep us focused on the correct place to look. It can also only count as bonus and not a mandatory question.
I'm curious to hear what other students think of this suggestion and of course - did the Treehouse team ever considered this and what was the conclusion?
Have a great day and keep coding, Michal

I think that is a great idea. From my own experience, I spend a lot of time going through the documentation, trying to understand a specific method or element, all the time.
However, I think there may be a small issue with maintaining the questions and answers, as the documentation sites do change from time to time, and may update locations of answers, or their content entirely. With that comes the need for Treehouse to constantly check to see if they answers they want students to find are still found on the site, and if they are still written in a way that a student would identify it as the answer to the question. That could lead to a lot of frustration on for the students if the questions and answers aren't maintained.
Good thought. Hope this helps the conversation a little.
