New description:

 In many places the site says to add code, yet many of these strings of
 code are duplicates of other strings.

 How am I supposed to know where to put the string...

 The designer of the site assumes I know a ton of code or that I know where
 in my code to put the new code

 "Wire these new views into the polls.urls module by adding the following
 url() calls:

 Why don't you post the whole code at each junction rather than tease me as
 a new user with snippets when I have no idea where to put them in my code.

 I get it that this was designed by people with a lot of experience... but
 for those of us who don't know django, how are we supposed to learn if
 your code isn't following the python "explicitly labeled" mantra?

Comment:

 Thanks for the feedback but I'm not sure what changes to make based on
 your feedback. The tutorial is designed to require some thinking rather
 than just copy/pasting entire files at each step. If you have some
 specific suggestions, feel free to offer them.
