Good morning!

So, I am trying to create a code, in which, students have a two-part question, but the second part of the question does not show up until they have answered the first part. Any ideas on how I could code that other than using a table?

I’m thinking you want a question, answer, question, answer scenario. If using **Note** , **Math Input** , **Note** , **Math Input** , you can keep notes hidden using **content:** sink in the CL. You can keep Math Input hidden using **hidden:** sink in the CL.

Assuming your first **Math Input** is input1, put this in the CL for the second question:

```auto
content: feedback
feedback = when not(input1.submitted) "" otherwise "Second question here"

```

And this in the CL for the second answer:

```auto
hidden: when not(input1.submitted) true otherwise false

```

You can use the hidden sink for notes as well, but “” has the result, so doesn’t matter.
