Anyone else feel like there's something wrong with this?

Anyone else feel like this is testing one's knowledge of vocabulary instead of the central concepts of Object-oriented programming?

One or two question out of the bunch , can be considered to revolve around OOPs central concept directly.
Well , most of the questions seems to test one's vocabulary but they can not be answered without proper understanding of OOPs main and basic concepts.

Whovian, you may have a point, but this is one tutorial in a course of many. I would guess you need to understand the technical meaning of various words before you can understand the future tutorials.

I would go as far as to say that the page is not intended to be a general test of one's understanding of OOP, but is considered as a help for the reader to check that he/she understood what was said in the previous slides of the tutorial.

I understand your concern. It is important for educational materials to focus on the central concepts and principles of a subject, rather than simply testing vocabulary knowledge. However, it is also important to have a strong understanding of terminology in order to effectively communicate and apply these concepts. Perhaps the material could benefit from a better balance between vocabulary and central concepts. It may also be helpful to actively engage with the material and practice applying the concepts in real-world scenarios, in order to solidify understanding and avoid a focus on rote memorization of vocabulary.
