"first" and "last" in left-to-right reading order is assumed, but that is not universal, be explicit that "first" means both left-most and outer-most and "last" means right-most and inner-most.
The text could be made more accessible by trying to simplify the English. The new jargon and concepts are hard enough.
Use a tool like https://readabilityformulas.com/freetests/six-readability-formulas.php to test reading age and attempt to lower it

Wouldn't it be nice if multiline code blocks let you copy the input code line only

Q7 answer mentions selfie (not the single arg case)--is this the first time it appears, or have I missed the explanation?

Q5 AddTable ← {i∘.+i←¯1+⍳1+⍵}
: Very picky but use a variable name other than i (maybe longer?), this is hard to parse, took me a while
Hello
in the file:
https://github.com/Dyalog/APLCourse/blob/master/docs/First-steps.md
in the section "3. What's in a Vector", in the question "3. What's the length of an ⎕AVU vector"
why do not you use the ⍴(⎕AVU) expression to calculate the length of that vector?
is not it shorter and clearer than the expressions provided as the sample answers?
consequently, the mean would be calculated as (+/⎕AVU)÷⍴(⎕AVU)
best regards

PS2 Q4
per @suemanning
under problem 4. a. the solution was b×÷a, but that is b÷a because multiplication by reciprocal is the same as division.
How do I load a single text file with multiple function/operator definitions and run it?
Is the dfn bug worth mentioning? Can it be referenced from e.g. Orchard?
What about ⎕FIX and tacit functions?
Also consider being opinionated and encouraging use of Link.

currently shown in a brief example, and then used repeatedly hereafter
Or just link to the course or put development info there
https://course.dyalog.com/Ufns/#name-scope-locals-and-globals
var∘←'lexical'⍵
is an exploit of an implementation edge condition, and not theoretically correct behaviour of dfns. Although people may use this, it should not be encouraged and certainly not demonstrated in an introductory text like this
Q2 why does the following return 70? -> why does the following return 70 in APL?
AddRows ← {⍵+(⍴⍵)⍴⍺}
should say AddRows ← {⍺+(⍴⍺)⍴⍵}

Hello
in the file:
https://github.com/Dyalog/APLCourse/blob/master/docs/Outer-product.md
to meet the example provided, the 'AddTable' function should be:
AddTable ← {∘.+⍨¯1+⍳⍵+1}
instead of
AddTable ← {∘.+⍨¯1+⍳⍵}
as in the sample solution

wrong answer in example question in "Array Logic and Data-driven Conditionals" for grille Grille grid.
It currently says
grille Grille grid
THISISFUN
The example output should be
ILIKEAPL
https://course.dyalog.com/dfns-and-assignment/
From here, when functions are first introduced, F⍵ ("eff omega") denotes a monadic function f
and ⍺F⍵ ("alpha eff omega") denotes a dyadic function.
Should be capital F

Way back in problem set 4 you wrote a dfn to convert test scores into letter values.

From a user
「Just a small comment on the Basic Syntax page (course.dyalog.com/basic-syntax-and-arithmetic).
In the section on Order of Execution, the third example shows an incorrect result. I was confused until I clicked the Show me step-by-step. The example shows
(10×⍳2)+5
and gives an incorrect result
16 17
But the Show me step-by-step shows that the multiply symbol is supposed to be an add symbol and in that case, the result is correct.」
This was my stumbling point in trying to find a good solution, unless we just prepend it uniformly, but your solutions do not return it at all.
