• Invite students to use the documentation (? in the REPL / docs tab in Pluto)
• Present intro tutorial before the homework
• Say that just because checks are passing doesn't mean the answer is correct
• Add question numbers
• Explain what an empty struct means + how to compare mutable and immutable structs (== vs ===)
• Clarify inner / outer constructors
• Note on matrix indexing to prevent them from using linear indices
• Give a reference for various kinds of type dispatch syntax (f(x::X) vs f(x::Y) where {Y<:X})
• Specify expected output for attack(::Corgi, ::Pokemon), and state that we do not accept catch-all methods (code should rely on dispatch instead)
• Define what we mean by method ambiguity and explicitly lead students to find and resolve it
• Fix check_defense_philip check
• Explain how boundaries should be handled in the step! function
• Make it clear that the attacker cannot attack itself

• Give a unifying perspective on the topics we teach and how they come together
• Be clearer on grading / lateness policy / other logistical aspects
• More structured slides

The link to the installation instructions in Homework 0 is broken. Perhaps it would be nice to have a local page for this class regarding setup, instead of redirecting to the old "Computational thinking"
