MATLAB Onramp: Further practice section command window minimized

For the current version of the tutorial, (2022B), the command window minimizes (disappears into an arrow) when I get the Further Practice section of the course. Is the minimization and extra step to do the further practice intentional or a bug?

Here's a url and screenshot as an example:

EDIT: After going to the next section, I realized that this is only an issue in the earlier chapters, where the command window and workspace are used to complete the tasks. Still, I'm considering submitting a support/bug ticket since that might be confusing for beginners. Wanted to still post here first in case I'm the only on who's experienced this as an issue.

Will just add a comment that, in most course interactions, the command window is collapsed by design. This is because the interactions are done in live scripts, where the executable code is in the same document as the text and outputs, so it allows for better use of the on screen real estate.

Yes, that makes sense now that I went to the next section and saw how that works out better for the later live script sections of the tutorial. However, for the first section of the tutorial, it is a little unusual behavior for a newcomer imo. But perhaps there isn't a way to have that section of the tutorial exhibit a different behavior, so it's the best that can be done.

is it mandatory to complete further practice questions to finish onramp course?

[Cris LaPierre]

No. Further Practices are not assessed. They can provide some good information, though. I believe you have to still visit the page, but do not have to run anything.
