Task discrepancies in single-objective microcourse assignment

[WinC3]

Some outlined tasks in the README file are inconsistent with the ones in the assignment starter file and pytests file. In particular, the README only outlines 5 tasks (A to E), while the python files outlines (and tests for) 6 (A to F). The tasks C and D from the README are not tested in the pytests, which tests for some other parameter for those tasks.

The README task C also mentions using the ax_client.get_feature_importances() function to store some importance metrics about each parameter, but reading up on the source code I believe the data structure returned (AxPlotConfig) isn't useful for extracting such a metric.

Thanks! Could you include a direct link or snippet / screenshot of the mismatching sections? It's ok if it's a direct link to your private repo since I have access. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Thanks again for catching this. I think you can focus on what's in pytest and the Python file, ignoring the README inconsistencies. If you have suggestions for correcting this, happy to review a pull request.

In the meantime you can also work on later assignments.

@AndrewFalkowski, could you spot check this?
