How hard was it for you to learn?

Easy

Explanation:

It's a simple multiple choice quiz game. You click the number next to the answer you want. The timer is a bit easy to miss but sooner or later you figure out you're being timed. The trouble is if you don't answer in time or answer wrongly, the program will tell you the right answer, and then make you start over at the beginning of God knows how many levels. The design, particularly the colors and text style, make the questions and answers a strain to read, and some rounds do not function correctly, with placeholder answers left where added development needed to be done. This is a pretty poor device and doesn't really help illustrate or explain anything. It dully and frustratingly pounds home abtract concepts.

Ability to meet my goals:

Very Ineffective
