This shoudl formally (by contacting them via phone or e-mail) be brought to the attention of In-House Solutions. The people responsible for that do not necessarily read/post in the forum.

Thank you for your feedback.

ropteach,

Mariana Lendel actually writes the tutorials at In-House. I know she's on the forum quite often as well. I was actually fortunate enough to meet her and her supervisor when they allowed my first class to be a test case for their first tutorial exercises.

The typo that your students encounter is actually a good thing. This would cause a judgement call IE: the software doesn't work, the tutorial is incorrect, etc!. That's a very important thing for the student to grasp.

Do I go home cause I can't get it to work OR do I problem solve and actually accomplish something on my own.

 

You, as the instructor should perhaps encourage the student's to solve these little problems. It will only build a stronger mind.

I don't believe in the follow the bouncing ball method of teaching right out of the book. This is why I prefer to use theirs. You get one example to learn from and 3 or 4 similar exercises to drive it home.

 

Regards, Jack
