The most interesting part for me was the final project that had to do with all the knowledge gathered from the beginning of the course. It was more practical and engaging.

Another poorly designed course by IBM. This one is not nearly as bad as the HTML, CSS, Javascript class, but the disconnect between what the class material is and what the final assignment instructions are compared to what the rubric is super off. Just going through the discussions and grading people's assignments it was clear everyone on the final was confused about tasks 9 and 10. Confusing instructions and poor scaffolding are rampant. I wish the would learn from how Google does thier classes.

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.

Outdated screenshots and in parts also outdated commands.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.

The final project part 2 has problems. Apparently for at least five months based on the help requests dating back at least that far. What is really unacceptable is this problem still exists, and the staff who answered either don't understand the questions being posed or just post the same answer by rote.

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.

Peer reviewed assignments are deducted points for correct answers. Coursera should provide an appeals process in which they review the assignments themselves.
