Description

in lang/en_utf8/exercise.php, the string for 'pleasereviewtheexercise' contains the following paragraph:

Please view the exercise given below by clicking on it's title.
You should follow the instructions in this exercise.
When you are happy that you have completed the exercise
successfully you should click on Assess (or Re-assess) link in
the box below. When you have done this assessment you will
be shown further instructions on submitting your work.

In the first sentence, the apostrophe in "it's" is an error, and should be removed.

The word 'exercise' is used three times in the paragraph with three different meanings. It is very confusing. Let me suggest the following rewrite.

Please view (and optionally download) your instructions by clicking the link in the first box below. You should also study the assessment form (the link in the second box below) and make sure you understand all of the assessment elements before starting work. When you have completed your work, click the Assess (or Re-assess) link and fill out the form. When you have done so, you will be given instructions on how to submit your work.

Some of the remaining awkwardness could be fixed by rearranging the page just a little and doing a little relabeling.

The help button next to "The Exercise" pops up a window with "Help file "junk.html" could not be found!"
