A weak step on purpose

A coach reply may hide a small weak step, so you practise noticing it.

A coach reply may have a weak step on purpose, so you practise noticing. The coach is told to put that weak step in the reasoning only, never in a made-up quote, study, number or source.

A card at the end of the chat says this for your account on this browser until you select Got it. Later it is one line. If a coach reply feels wrong, select Something feels off? under the newest saved coach reply, or say so in the chat. If you question a step in the chat, the coach is told not to defend it: it agrees when you say what is wrong, or asks what feels off to you. The button is hidden while the coach is replying. A check you have already opened stays open under its own reply until you send it or close it. A result stays under the reply it belongs to. After you have caught a slip, the button reads Still feel off?.

If you send three more messages to the coach without catching a weak step, Edudojo then shows it under that reply and says what the weak step was. That counts as a miss. If you check that reply after it is shown, the coach answers kindly.
