There are 5 difficulty levels which you can set your students at for Instruction Practices, Technique Practices and Coding Exercises.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Level 1 provides the most support to students.
It provides Section and Paragraph comments in the editor to help students organize their code. #### ---- SETUP ---- #### is a section comment and ## -- Variables -- ## is a paragraph comment in the example below.
There are also comments that describe each line of suggested code in plain English. If students need more support, there are beacons they can click which reveal the syntax of each line of code along with fill-in-the-blank value hints.
Finally, students can click More on the hint box to reveal the solution code for that line.______________________________________________________________________________________________________
