Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

It would be nice to see the correct answers to missed questions on the quiz instead of prompting one to rewatch a video. I didn't rewatch any videos but I wanted to know what the right answer was.
