Coding and Non-Coding Questions
Coding questions
Our data include each time students submit a coding response (i.e., any time students hit the <submit> button). For any given coding question, you can find its name in the bottom left corner of a coding exercise (e.g., the one shown below is called ch1-6). Students may have multiple responses for each coding question because they may submit multiple times.
Coding exercises in earlier versions of our textbook (check this version 3 and earlier) were delivered through DataCamp Lite. Coding exercises in more recent versions of our textbook are delivered through our own technology, CK Code.
Non-coding questions
Non-coding questions in the interactive textbook are delivered through a technology called Learnosity which only allows one response per submit. These questions are a mix of multiple-choice, check all that apply, matching, and written response. Survey questions are also delivered as Learnosity questions.
Non-coding questions can appear as a single question with a <submit> button or as a group of questions (e.g., 3 questions) that have one submit button. Each group of Learnosity questions that shares a <submit> button is called an item. You can find the Learnosity item’s name in the bottom left of a question (e.g., the one below is called Ch3_Boxplots_1_v2).
