I am finding the test section of the Cochrane course to be quite frustrating. When I get a question wrong that has four parts, I don't know which parts I've gotten wrong. When it tells me to go back to the specified section, I can't find the information that tells me what the answer should be. This means I end up guessing over and over to just get the question right so I can move on. I feel this isn't effective for my learning and means I don't actually learn from my mistakes during the quizzes. It would be better to just have one question per question rather than multiple choice questions within one single question, and/or giving more feedback and guidance on why the answers were wrong.
Additionally, I'm finding that when I put in an answer, sometimes it will say its correct and other times it will say its incorrect. So I keep redoing and redoing the quiz, then when I put in my initial answer, it eventually comes up as correct. This is also incredibly frustrating as I keep trying to find out what I did wrong (as above), only to realise my first attempt was correct after all.
Some of the sections are also difficult to read. I really like having the examples but I feel that these could be utilised a lot more during the course so that each concept is really clear and understandable in the context of an actual review. Especially the analysing the data section - having an example for each type of analysis rather than a few of them would be helpful.
Otherwise I am really enjoying the course, but just finding those above aspects difficult and frustrating to get through.

The course is well prepared with clear objectives, clear short notes, and an assessment that address each objective at the end of the course.

Unnecessarily wordy and time consuming.
