Great learning experience with this course, but I wasn't able to do some of the labs because the website didn't let me create an acct. Others in the course had the same problems.

Die Übersetzung ist nicht so gut. Auch wird viel über Programmieren gesprochen, was für mich einfach nicht infrage kommt.

Information seems outdated and is just a repeat of previous modules in the course. Great for summarizing but also contradicts previous modules. Lots of reading exercises contain information that is not in the video tutorials. Additionally, the exercises are highly open to interpretation and doesn't provide any real benefit as there is no guidance towards the outcome.

Too much emphasize on software/digital/IT world.
