Recurring patterns

Insufficient or low-quality instructional materials

Course materials omit definitions/explanations of specific statistical terms, requiring students to search externally

  • I have been habitually searching terms from the tasks lately because I know that I'm gonna run into them unexplained in the coursework and have to learn them myself anyway. ... Searching Google for "probability F statistics" does not yield meaningful results

Unclear or ambiguous instructions and questions

Conflicting or unclear submission instructions and rubric requirements for Git commits/submissions (per-part commits vs single notebook)

  • The rubric says for parts C2 through D4 you have to commit with a message and push changes to GitLab for EACH part. ... I've written the entire thing in Jupyter (which the course instructor says is the right way to do it in the "course tips") and imported the whole file?
