Narration and wording seems overly complex and is more confusing than it needs to be. I used the GitHub resources and it made a lot more sense and took less time...

confusing wrt. the Lab (slow, buggy) CLI, vs. the upstream and origin repos on Github (no CLI commands)

Need to make the exercises more dynamic, and also update the commands. Some of them are very obsolete

This was one of the worst cert programs I have gone through for Git and GitHub. Can't believe I paid money for this. There are free YouTube videos that do a better job.

The information given is often verbose and generic, sometimes even incorrect. The final project is a joke.

Outdated screenshots and in parts also outdated commands. Had to use my own terminal to complete and do an extra, much better explained, course, which cost me extra money. The instructions are missing clarity and at times steps in between to clarify what is happening. The extra course I took on another platform explains better, more comprehensive and more wholesom the principle of Git (incl. GitHub, GitKraken, VS Code, Remone Commands) in less than half the time. I suggest complete overhaul of this course concept.

None of this added with coursera plus resulted in a job. Waste of my time and money. Have the background. Experience. And skill set. This entire site didn't set anybody up for career prospects. Going to continue reviewing the rest of the courses in a similar manner until I receive recompense or justice.

Very fast material presentation, then strange labs, where the most part of the time is taken by creating of the screenshots, and finally peer cross checks takes the time, you not only have to check someone else's results but also just to seat and wait when someone will check your work.

Don't Pay to take any of these courses until IBM Full Stack Developer Certification Course has been updated. There is a new version with 13 classes, and its pointless to do the 12 course version.
