Time limitation
I really think it's EXTREMELY unfair to have a lime limit on questions involving typing out code: I couldn't even get past question 5 because of typing.
Hi Elise,
thanks for reaching out! Usually we don't include long pieces of code, as it does take a long time typing as you've correctly pointed out. Usually we try and provide a notebook with the relevant code. For this question, however, you're not actually required to type all the code. You can examine the code and see if there is an error or something out of place there. This is exactly how I used to learn programming and is also an important skill, as if you work as a programmer or data scientist, you'll likely be working in a team, so you'd be asked to work with someone else's code. So finding mistakes in the code, that you haven't necessarily written yourself is a valuable skill.
The time element is part of our exams, and practice exams are timed as they prepare you for the course exam. Please don't feel discouraged if you don't complete a practice exam within the given time frame. I promise, that with a bit more practicing you'll be able to improve and solve the question within the given timeframe.
Best,
365 Eli
