Design

Flawed Exam Question

There is a true or false question in the Design Foundations color exam that needs to be corrected. Last time I checked light could NOT reflect objects (although is would be pretty impressive), but objects CAN reflect light making the statement FALSE. Easy fix. Wasnt really sure where to address this.

I've also noticed that there is no scroll bar to scroll through reward videos in the side menu bar when accessing website from the Google Chrome. I had to use Firefox to find the ones I hadn't seen due to the accessibility issue.

Awesome site though, thanks guys! Keep up the good work.

I'm loving the new Design Foundations class.

Yeah that should be "...the way light reflects off an object".

when you posted this, I was just about to post what I think is another minor mistake.

Illustrator Foundations - Adding Color and Type - Creating Custom Workspaces (quiz):

In the video (@1:45), Mat Helme says, "Illustrator comes with a couple of different workspaces by default. You can see them in your control panel and in the window drop down."

But in the quiz, "Custom workspaces can be found in the Control Panel as well as the Window drop down. True or False?" the answer is false for some reason.

(Just to be sure, I created a custom workspace, and yes, I can see it in both places.)

For the videos menu and other menus, most can scroll down by hovering over the menu and then using two fingers on the touchpad... but I know that didn't work on my last laptop. And long-time mac users may forget that a lot of Windows users either.

1.don't have two-finger scroll,    
2.don't have it enabled and don't know about it, or
3.don't know about it even though they have it because they've been without it their entire lives.

Hmm, I can't seem to make a normal list on the message board. Oh well, this is a great site and I'm so thankful for it!!

2 issues ...

  • Indenting creates code blocks
  • to create an ordered list you need
    • a number
    • followed by a period
    • followed by a space

Yes, its been an awesome site. Im going to start keeping a notepad for corrections, just to help them keep on top of it. :)

For bugs, send them to help@teamtreehouse.com

In case of feature requests, the ones that seem to get the most action are the ones that get mentioned the most of the forums.

This is kind of a minor point, but in the 'Setting Up Web Hosting' quiz there is this question: "What type of product is typically purchased from a hosting company?", and the correct answer is: "Web servers". Another question is "Where can web servers be purchased?", and the answer is: "A hosting company".

Wouldn't the answer to the first question be: "Provide space on a server and internet connectivity", and aren't servers just extra large computers that can be bought from some computer stores?

Maybe I've got this all wrong, I'm pretty new to computers, etc. If so, pleas let me know.

Still no scroll option for the side bar even with hover or double tap btw. I tried both.

It's more of a workaround than a permanent solution, but I found that if you go to your "Activity Feed" the video list scrolls with the page.

While we are on wish lists... The side bar lists old inactive students from 2012 in my browser, I think it would be more motivating so see current students making progress and maybe have a faster way to communicate with them like a chat option. In addition I think Guil did an awesome job of the CSS deep dive track, but there is soooooo much information Im struggling to get through it, it would be nice to see it split into two parts with something completely unrelated in between just to break it up a bit, and lastly an ABOUT US teacher page where all teachers profiles, backgrounds, etc can be viewed without having to log into each lesson to find out who is teaching what.

I love the reward videos, the snarky humor and how each instructor has a different personal flavor of lesson delivery. This program is by far the most thorough, and I like that hey include history, theory, resources and teach clean proper coding practices.

I guess a resources page would be great as well, Im trying to keep a notebook of all the recommended resources, because there are some great ones mentioned throughout the lessons that I will never remember down the road. ie. www.subtlepatterns.com, gridulator, hubspot, Erik Spiekermann's Ted talk about design, etc.
