Great course. However, as you have a lot of paying customers, it would behoove you to correct your typos.
~There are places where you’ve inverted the ratios (a 1:2 slope is not 50%)
~Used % when you meant degrees for a triangle
~Called a lower elevation the “high side” and vise-versa on the quiz, making it uncertain what you were asking for.
~Asked for a lower end elevation in the quiz & gave the higher end elevation as the correct answer.
~Should have stated at the beginning of the quiz that we should round to the nearest 1/10th of a percent and 1/100th of a foot.
There are others, but these are the ones I made a note of.
Cheers,
