Why don't you provide the correct answers when a question is missed?

Very irritating to have to spend time to search for right answer. If I could see the correct answer I could learn and move on.

The idea is that you learn from the videos and then do the quiz. If you fail a quiz then it means you haven't mastered the topic and should go back and repeat. If the answer was just provided, you would forget it anyways within a week.

Christian, thanks for the feedback. You make good points but are making some assumptions about the way some people learn. I'm not talking about failing a test, I'm talking about missing a question and then not giving the student either (1) the answer immediately (2) The answer at the end; or (3) Make them take it until they get it right.

I currently own a company with a learning management system and have placed our programs in over 15+ companies and not one of them doesn't do have one of the three options I listed above. The only exception would be a program that earns an "official professional certification." In that case you would be right, but I would guess many of the users of teamtreehouse are not in that category.

I agree that once a student has passed a test, but answered a question incorrectly, the correct answer to that question should be given. Personally, If I fail a question, I usually go back to the video and try again; I don't ever proceed once I've answered all questions correctly.
