Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsI think this is a feature not a bug. It raises the stakes that you have to get more than 80% correct or else you'll have to go back to the beginning and do the whole quiz from scratch. This forces people to think before they click, and to pay close attention to the course. If you could just change your answer to the right one in the middle of the quiz, a lot of people would just go through the motions of the quiz to move on to the next step.
I've taken other online courses that didn't have this kind of validation step, and I've found myself just watching all the videos until the end, but somehow not learning what I was supposed to learn, and not knowing that I missed learning something important until later on. So then I wasted my time taking the course, and I don't know exactly what step to go back to so that I can fill that knowledge gap.

Courses Plus Student 2,281 PointsLol Brian. Ok I'll watch my language in the future. And Brendan I think that is probably a fair point.
If I do think about it in the way then it soothes the frustration albeit still very frustrating.
