congrats on the launch!

i opened a random lecture (MIT 14.01 Lecture 19: International Trade: Welfare and Policy)

a- i tried an exercise without watching the video, and then clicked on 'watch' next to the question, i expected it would take me to relevant portion of the video instead it played it from beginning.

b- i used the ai tutor and asked 2 random questions, instead of giving me an answer it prodded to provide more detail. this might be an intentional choice to ensure learning, however i personally prefer chatgpt's style where it gives me some information and then provides more angles to pursue.

i also asked the tutor about batman, here's the response for reference:

tell me about batman That's a good start, but your question is very broad. When you say "tell me about Batman," are you looking for information about the character's origin, his role in comics, his significance in popular culture, or something else? Try to narrow down your question a bit.

For example, are you interested in: - Batman's backstory and how he became a superhero? - The different versions of Batman in comics, movies, and TV?

Thanks! Yea the watch button should do that, we added 14.01 before that feature but will fix asap.

And yea probably thinking to do a guiding mode (as you said, often better to have the tutor guide you through step-by-step instead of giving you the answer right away) and a straightforward answer mode for the tutor. Or if you have any other ideas.
