Also, for what it's worth, I developed the tutorial you're referencing ( http://mltconsecol.github.io/QGIS-Tutorial/). Note- it hasn't been updated since version 2.12 (when I was last developing it for teaching material) - thus, the operations should generally work as described, but there may have been slight changes since 2.12.
If you notice anything that straight-up doesn't work the same or similar with a newer version of QGIS, let me know directly (this e-mail address is fine) or file it as a bug report in Github: https://github.com/mltConsEcol/QGIS-Tutorial/issues I have no immediate plans to update the tutorial, but will keep track of these things and fix as I can/when I need to develop further for some reason.
