| November 01, 2023 | 1 | I'm not sure if I was just totally missing something but I got to a point in the tutorial where I was unable to locate one of the items I was supposed to locate on the screen and was unable to effectively use the tutorial for what it was meant to help with. |

| October 06, 2023 | 1 | i genuinely was not able to navigate the tutorial. even with the instructions given, i had to restart (maybe 5-8 times? i wasn't keeping count) because the browser version doesn't have a return arrow(?). i hope there is a way that the tutorial can be more accessible; i wasn't able to finish it due to these issues. |

I believe that this is helpful but it is also a bit vague on we could apply to our studies as well as future papers. |
