I found this course frustrating and difficult to learn from. It seems like the makers of the course do not understand the level that they're teaching at. It's supposedly a course for beginners, but it uses niche-specific terminology that a beginner would not know to explain basic concepts. If I was teaching someone who doesn't cook how to sear a steak, I wouldn't casually drop the term "maillard reaction" without explaining what that is. Additionally, there were multiple (at least 2) graded questions whose answers were not covered in the course material. After completing the test, I reviewed the questions I missed, and tried to find the answers in the course material from that week. I could not find them there and ended up just searching for the answers online, then looking back through the course to see if I'd missed them. Nothing. That's some significant lack of attention to detail. I also think more hands-on assignments would have been helpful (the majority of the course are videos of someone lecturing over a slideshow), but that might just be my learning style.

The course promises an introduction into the world of front-end development, but in practice, it ends up burdening beginners with an array of unnecessary terminologies and examples that do little to solidify core concepts. The curriculum feels cluttered with technical jargon that, instead of building a strong foundation, leaves learners overwhelmed. Much of the content appears transient—the examples and detailed terminologies are quickly forgotten after the course ends. While the goal might have been to cover as many topics as possible, this approach ultimately diminishes the learning experience for those just starting their path in front-end development.

1) The course has not been updated for a long time. 2) When completing tasks, example pictures mixed with text are very inconvenient. 3) Honor is impossible to complete: the description does not correspond to what is presented on wordpress.com 4) Wordpress.com is horrible, never again.

Wordpress and the mayority of the technologies mentioned are not at all relevant anymore, and any front-end dev will have to learn these or other ones on a daily basis, you need to teach them HOW TO CODE!
