something to think about and implement if there's an easy solution.

There is a "# of rows" field in the authoring tool for note steps.

We currently do not enforce this in anyway, but it would be nice if this actually determines the size of the response box that the students initially sees when the note pops up.

feedback from Kevin on this topic:
I consider this authoring feature (response box size) to be a nice feature because it provides a nice cue for students how much is expected of them. In my case, students are used to responding to prompts with maybe 2-3 sentences throughout the project. This final reflection I want them to respond with 2-3 paragraphs. Having a big text box there lets them know that more is expected on this note than the previous ones.

I use the reflection note here so that students can see their explanation builder work in the previous step while they construct the response.
