Pretty Good Not Perfect

February 19, 2025

The random quizzes can be confusing because they ask questions that have not be cover at the point of the quiz. So, you end up guessing on some of the quiz questions then learning the answers after you resume the course. Someone needs to proofread the course to correct these. Also, I think you should be able to print the course out so it can be studied like a workbook.
