I am also happy for the changes to this assessment.
I think students who have completed lessons 4 - 7 develop a basic understanding of bases and why computers use binary. I think the introductory statement could throw students who have not seen data represented in octal or hexadecimal. It is a statement of fact not connected to their experience. The question itself can be answered whether or not you understand or believe the statement.
Question #7 provides another challenge. I think I will take some time to dig deeper into these terms and how to connect students to them. Last year, I had conversations about the difference with traffic in the hallways from our old building to our new one.
I see this as an opportunity to discuss the AP style questions and how they are require more than knowing definitions.
Thanks for posting your concerns.
