Trick questions are not helpful. Stop doing that. Q: 18 (I think) re: Database permissions - on final exam. That isn't reinforcing learning when your answer is something that is never mentioned or referenced anywhere in the material, and your students need to extrapolate that "Individual" meant "System" type permissions.

REACT JS IS COMPILED THEREFORE LABELING JAVASCRIPT AS INTERRUPTED IS FALSE. As it can be interrupted or compiled a better option would be python

The videos seemed to be slapped together pretty hastily, images didn't sync up right to the narration on the videos, there were a lot of confusing parts in the labs and the honors assignment didn't actually tell you that you needed to prove that you'd set the formatting on your cells by inputting data. I really think IBM would do well to commission real motion graphics designers and voice actors to make the videos more engaging instead of writing it in; I know you can afford it!
