Hi guys,
Not sure if there's a way I can submit suggestions to the website devs, so I thought I'd chuck it in general discussion.
Although I really like the idea of a little quiz after the videos to make sure I was paying attention, it's seems a little odd to me that there isn't something telling you the right answer (if you were wrong) and an little explanation of the right answer.
I'm finding that if I get something wrong, I just have to refresh the page and try again to know where I messed up!

9,959 PointsI would not think they would do this. First, there is a limited number of questions so it would be pretty easy to redo the quiz and go on. I would rather go back myself and review the material in order to get it correct. That helps me remember it a lot better.

I want to know what the right answer should have been....its just bugs me that I don't know the answer to the question I got wrong.

14,268 PointsExactly. If there was a answer key or they showed you the right answer every time you answered incorrectly, users would just breeze their way through courses without having to retain anything. "Get the badge and move on."
This forum is a great place to find help whenever you get stuck on a question. The videos before a quiz/challenge always hold the answer though. And if you can't find it there, Googling the question's keywords will present the answer to you.

21,479 PointsYou know, when you put it like that it does make a lot of sense.
I wasn't necessarily saying I'd like it to literally SHOW me the right answer I was just thinking something like "such and such is the right answer, because as you'll recall you have to do this and that" as a little kick so you don't have to search through the videos again for that little reminder.
I suppose there's no harm in repetition though!
Way to make me sound lazy ;)
