Data Models eLearning Quiz needs review

The quiz for EDU-1001 Data Models needs to be reviewed by Splunk.

There is one question that cannot be answered correctly because it requires a multiple choice selection and the UI uses radio buttons. The directions even state "select all answers that apply".

For some reason I had to take this quiz many times to achieve a passing grade. That has not been the case with the other 8 quizzes I have taken on the Certified Power User track, where I have usually passed on the first try. It could just be me, but I found a lot of the language to be confusing and the answers didn't appear to be exactly correct, especially regarding the difference between a Data Model and Dataset.

The quiz would be more effective as a personal assessment tool if it would report which answers are incorrect. The quizzes for some of the other classes do exhibit that behavior and they are far more useful for determining knowledge gaps.

This course also lacks a feedback widget. It seems like I've seen that on some of the other courses.

Thanks!
