Reference
-This is such a foundational lesson, and it doesn't go nearly in depth for later with the two complement lesson and the add and subtract. It needs to be fully revamped to give a strong foundation in the manipulation of binary and hexadecimals

  • With the example given in the number system, again the syntax is hard to understand of the base systems, and could be better formatted
  • Potentially going over a power series and how it also reiterates through a pattern may help the reader further understand how binary works, as they would have a firm foundation of what that is at this point
  • The example questions were fine, however going over more examples in a better format and explaining them would be the best, along with a way to check answers as without getting it right you have no idea what you are doing wrong.
  • There should be more lessons going over the basic manipulation of binary, such as an addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division lesson.

  • I found this lesson clear. It ran over the basics of binary and hexadecimal and had some basic problems for each one. Maybe adding a one or two more difficult question at the end will make this better and test our understanding more regarding this topic.
  • I would also suggest to add a lessons for floating point numbers using binary. I have seen that we will run through simple binary and hex lesson, 2 complement lesson, and addition and subtraction lesson. So maybe adding a floating point lesson will also be beneficial in the future lessons to learn more about binary and its applications.
