The website is also slow and not all that intuitive, the mark as compeleted button has a slow animation and it constantly changes from completed to uncompleted even after clicked.
The lessons lacks in-depth learning since it will only give you the basic knowledge you need to know and assumes that you'll delve in further for harder courses. This course is great for people in elementary to high school.
Although I liked receiving the certificate, there seems to be no challenge for this course. Don't be fooled by the 2 stars I gave though, because it is also worth taking but if you have a knowledge about coding, I suggest you take intermediate ones since the course could easily be skimmed in half a day's time.
