Not very user friendly and the lab exercise that's graded at the end doesn't tell you what its marked against so aiming for 100% seems impossible. The other graded assessments want nothing but perfection in areas that are graded by ai and by perfection I mean they want a specific wall of code regardless if it works anyway. Seems to have issues that were flagged up 2 months ago and there's no one to help you, even coursea have suggested just asking the community. Its a shame the adventure game grading ruined it all for me, I almost didn't even get a certificate because I didnt know what I was being marked against. I feel like a good start to fixing the course would be if they told you what you were being marked against for the adventure game instead of the generic "An error has occurred - please check your code for any undefined variables or steps you may not have completed for this assignment." Anyone else thinking of doing this course, I would highly suggest looking for something else, maybe going through IBM instead.
there is a problem with grading the class work and no support to fix the issue. This course does not let you do the work locally and force you to use the vs code inside of the labs, which is very hard to use and removes user controls for refactoring and editing. I don't understand why you can not submit a repo or upload a file to the server. I am dropping this certification even after do a ton of work because I could not get support for this issue after a some time.
