Most of the course is very good. But some parts contain errors or inconsistencies between description of the task and the required code. There are also some errors in the code.

Lots of info and not much on actual instruction and explanation of code so that I could understand it. Had to take the test 4 times and even though I had everything, the AI just kept changing the responses. Finally gave up when I reached a passing score. It was a waste of my time to have to submit it that many times when everything was already there. Still never pass the last question, which was a URL (which it said was accurate), but said code was missing. If there was code missing, the curl commands that were submitted (and passed) would not have worked. Need to use a different AI or at least train it better!

The knowledge acquired in the previous courses in the IBM Full stack developer certificate are not enough to understand this course, however with the help of chat GPT it is possible to understand all the necessary information. However if I do not have previous experience with node.js it takes a lot more time than advertised.

Pacing of the course needs alot of work. Most weeks crammed too much information into it. Without outside resources, I do not believe I would have learned the concepts taught in this course.

I would prefer a human instructor with actual coding examples, focusing more on hands-on experience

there are some good tasks and activities do do it, but the AI teaching is not good

Similar to the IBM React course, this course also needs a complete revamp. It is similarly quite theoretical and there aren't enough small exercises to practice coding to be able to understand everything and complete the final project. I had to again refer to lots of outside resources for completing the final project which shouldn't be the case.

Most of the labs didn't work throughout the course. Since just learning, this made it exceptionally difficult to apply anything in the course to the final project. The external links to lab walk-throughs also did not work, so was unable to get any hands on experience throughout the course.

Pretty Mechanical, you don't really learn anything because the videos are not engaging.
