Change what happens when you answer incorrectly

Why is it that if i get a quiz question wrong all the feedback i get is: "Bummer, that's not the right answer!"

I have no option to try and answer the question again, nor am i pointed in the direction of the correct answer.

I'm unsure of whether this behaviour is specific to the topic, but this format isn't teaching me as efficiently as it could.

Is this just the standard? Am i missing something?

I think it's a good way as you have an opportunity to look documentation or Treehouse video once more as you see the question and other variants on your screen with the bummer notice. If you put some efforts you learn better to my mind. Then you can answer correctly that question during next pass same quiz.

I can agree with that logic if you completely missed the concept of the video, but sometimes it's only a subtle reminder that you need because you missed one small detail. At the very least, it could reference the time in the video or the area in the documentation to look at.

Definitely second this. Would love to see a hint and then an option to reveal the correct answer. Also, the ability to try to answer the question again.
